Delton T. Horn's books

Hi Max and all,

I happen to own one of Delton Horn's books on synthesizers, I beleive it is
on the topic of troubleshooting and repair. Sorry to say, but it has to be
the most useless, insipient text on the subject that I own. The section on
analog basics is not *too* bad, but the digital section is a real joke.
Basic info on poking around aimlessly, moving dust, looking quickly at
things etc. 

Nothing is worse for a beginner than an author who contradicts himself...
Maybe that it's just that my copy is an early edition, but in light of the
content, I can't believe they even bothered to print it. 

My 2 cents.

Hey, guess what? President Gore!
