I just wish Thousands of dataloggers, controllers, computers etc. weren't
going to the dump every day. Soon only "usefull" things will be left to
hack parts from. The digital section of most early polysynths used the same
A/D's, RAM etc as most other digital products. There's only so much crap
you can store though I guess :)

My girlfriend saw a huge VAX system in the dumpster at her work after they
upgraded the computer system. What a waste...  woops OT.
