Buzz was my first "DAW" too. I immediately thought this kinda looked like what the buzz patching area might look like had development continued to now. I'm on mac now, but the thing that reminds me of Buzz the most currently is SunVox which is free. I haven't played with it in ages, mainly b/c I use live now. Did you spend any time in the tracker communities when Buzz was around? I was on em411 in various guises. Nothing like that community online now - too much noise everywhere.

I have tried SunVox on the iPad, it's a very nice application.

On tracker websites I used to be mastazi just like my HN username, but I never released my own music I think. However I made a CD and gave it to friends, I might still have a copy somewhere at my parents' home in Italy. That's the only memory I have, because I lost all of my Buzz project files in a HD failure many years ago.

The modern web is different from what we have back then, but if you look hard enough you can still find corners of the web that look familiar :-)
