By the time you wait for the real .937 realease,here's something you might find interesting to see:
How did REAPER look like at the beginning of it's development stages? See for yourself:
The Reaper v0.0

It was originally called "The Reaper" - a "Rapid Environment for Audio Prototyping,Experimenting and Rocking?"
Sounds funny
And,if you haven't noticed yet,the very first (unreleased) ALPHA builds are now finally? available for download,so you can grab them from the REAPER downloads section,assuming you would take the risk of going back in time
* This is NOT a joke
