What Mackie have done is written a driver - the Mackie Universal Driver V1.0, which appears to circumvent the ProTools/Digidesign hardware protection that ties Digidesign or M-Audio hardware to M-Powered software. Essentially they have cracked the code. This means that you can use the new Mackie Onyx i Series mixers as the audio hardware component of a Pro Tools LE system, using it as the audio I/O, yes, that's right, you did read that correctly.

I been thinking about moving back to Protools as my main DAW! :D

You mean the Palm Pre? Palm fixed that less than a week after Apple tried to block them... and believe me, their stock ain't related to Apple or iTunes in any way.
