That may be true, but I don't think Buero was asserting that computers
don't age as quickly as synths.  What I interpreted this statement to mean
was that because a software synth isn't tied directly to a specific hardware 
configuration, it's possible for a software synth to grow as your computer 
hardware grows instead of becoming obsolete along with it!
