buy, play, play, play, play, play....
By the way, is it simply me, or I detect a genuine note of GLEE when you try to tell me to give up on something that so many of us could actually do with?
Because I am kind of wondering why you would feel that way..?
Or offer that advice..?
I don't hear you giving up on a new TOTL Roland... Sure, I tell you it's over, but there's absolutely no SATISFACTION in it... I'd love to see a new Roland as much as you. But this post, or your stance on the 76 Yamaha's, well, what stake do you have in it whatsoever? You probably said the same before the iTunes Store came out about protected music files, too. Got any of those?
Mind you, if protected styles ever made a comeback, and people (those that currently make the ROM styles) started making REALLY good ROM-quality styles, not the mostly excruciating user styles I hear being posted for free, I dare say you'd be first in line for them...
Be careful what you try to shoot down for the fun of it. You might want to be on that plane if you bothered to think about it!
