Yeah, maybe you're right, Diki. But for some reason, it just doesn't seem to bother me as much. It's not like he's on here every day; usually just occasionally to announce a 'new' OS upgrade (which, sadly, sometimes also requires a major hardware upgrade ). I just view Dom as an entrepreneur swimming upstream in a strong current. Undaunted, ever optimistic, and with an undeniably unique product (which may or may not be ahead of it's time, and which is still trying to define itself). In fact, aren't there just as many Mediastation owners here as ,say, Wersi owners (personally, I'd rather have a Mediatation or GROOVE ). We constantly hear all the latest about that home organ disguised as an uber-expensive arranger with cabinetry that's garantees that it won't be moved for at least 20 years once you get it home. Not much interest there either, but nobody complains.

Hey, you have to root for the underdog, don't you? The first guys out of the gate always get clobbered but somebody's got to be first, right? When he does finally 'get it right' and has a stable, correctly priced, usable musical instrument that represents a great 'bang for the buck' for it's intended use, Chas and Diki will be among the first to line up for one . When that time comes, we might as well hear it here first .

From now on, all of his marketing will be done by his distributor, so what's the point of dumping on him now. For all practical purposes, he's outta' here. JMO.
