 Perhaps you tried to get on our web site www.chickensys.com during the last two weeks of March; it was down. Our apologies! We got hit with a pretty rare DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack. In fact, it isn't just something that was temporary, it's something the domain chickensys.com will have to live with for many years to come. We had to get top level assistance, which is why our site was down for so long.
The good news is we're back up (since late March) and all is well again. If you are interested in what happened - it's quite interesting - click here for the whole story.
More good news: Our new redesigned web site is scheduled to go online in May. See the preview, click here.

 This spring we made a brand new Multi-Format Installer for Nine Volt Audio's The Ultimate REX & RMX 30,000 collection. Check it out; 30,000 loops, 28 libraries, a $2400 value, only about $400!
The Multi-Format Installer installs any Recycle files and Stylus RMX files that the library holds, in partial or in full. It also watermarks the files for security purposes. Click here for more information on Multi-Format Installers.
 We had a backlog of Translator CD packages for awhile; we sent out a great majority of them. We still have a few Translator CD's that need to go out, and we attempted to contact those who have one coming via email to confirm your address.
IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN YOUR TRANSLATOR CD, PLEASE CONTACT US AT [email protected] WITH YOUR CURRENT ADDRESS!!!
