George, I love ya, but your Namm post was all one big paragraph. The info was great and your down to earth writing style is always appreciated ...... but long posts seems to make me strain to read them. Does this bother anyone else?

I try to put more spaces between my paragraphs for this very reason. I'd love to see more of you do the same please.

Thanx again for the terrific info from Namm George. You're a great asset to this community.

You're just getting old and cranky.

But as usual you're probably right.

Or, you could get glasses.

Is this any better?

Saturday mornings are boring aren't they?

The eyes are the fourth thing to go! I should know!

Yea, then what's the first 3? I think memory's up there but I forget the others!

Hey Dave, com'on over to Medina and I'll give you an eye exam. Better yet, bring over a piece of equipment you don't need and trade for a good pair of glasses!

UD. Yes I found the same, but George does such a good job with his information I did not want to upset him.
The ideal paragraph break would be for each manufacture mentioned.

I regard George in the highest esteem, and my intent was not to upset him. I understand that he was probably tired from the day at the show and it was gracious of him to post the review at all. Those of you that have me "figured out" know that I rarely sugar coat my feelings, and I learned long ago that the best way to get what you want is to ask for it.....so, I asked !
(I DID ask nice, didn't I?)

Dave,

I think you're like me. Sometimes we're like a bull in a china shop. But like my wife tells me, "We're gonna love you anyway."

I also have trouble reading long post as one paragraph. I'm always looking for just Korg stuff in hopes that some day they may figure a way for their keyboards with the better sounds to play my special mode "Backing Sequences" from the i30.

This will probably not happen, however I can dream can't I.

I'm not going to throw away all of my sequences and start over with a new keyboard until my i30 dies then I may have to, but I'm not looking forward to it.

In the order they went:

4. Eyes
3. Hearing
2. Mind (memory)
1. I don't remember!

Cheers,

Gary

A hint for all of you old fogies :

If you are having trouble reading stuff in Web pages, you can increase the text size - in the Internet Explorer go to View menu, find Text Size, and select LARGEST.

This way you will not miss out on all the terrific stuff that transpires in this forum.

My penny worth of advice, I normally HIGHLIGHT paragraph by paragraph, find it works form me, and I have trouble like you Dave, try it see if it works for you 2 and 3

Another hint for you old fogies if you want to enlarge the text,
just hold down ctrl. & alt button & turn the little wheel on the mouse.

Paragraph breaks are a good idea and do in fact make for easier reading and is one of the reasons they invited them in writing style to begin with.

Uncle Dave,
I take no offense!

In fact, your suggestion is well taken.

I often just try to type so many words so fast so I don't forget what it is I'm trying to say.

I'll try to do better.

Love,
George

You do just fine George! The only thing you're guilty of is providing too much information !
Thanx for all you ALWAYS do ..... we appreciate it !
