You deserve to be canonized, and knighted, and all the things!
In all seriousness - Hauptwerk represented a paradigm shift. When you first concieved of it, as an alternative to hard-ware based solutions, it was to take advantage of the growing capabilities of consumer electronics. Today the platform has matured to allow students and professionals alike to enjoy organs from all over the world, and serves an important role for documentation and preservation (as has been done with the Peterborough series).
I think our beloved instrument has a very bright future indeed and it is all thanks to that idea you had to head down to St. Anne's and see if you could do it!
THANK YOU!!!
PS: regarding the digital hoarding... I can't help it!
