wow! listen to these extreme fundamentalist analog guys. this is quite "fire
and brimstone" kinda stuff for this list ;)

i'm joining the 21st century too. after many (10?) years of futzing around
with a dinky little Casio FZ1 i've finally sprung for something a bit more
modern. i now own an Akai S6000. CD quality sound!!! :) 16 outputs....drooool!
;-P````
STEREO sampling - oh my God, this is truly uncharted territory - i hope i
don't get lost. a user friendly OS - sudden fatal heart attack :-0
256MB RAM - rise from death and have another sudden fatal heart attack :-0

it's quite a dramatic change going from 2MB FZ1 to this monster! you know what
all those outputs are going to be fed into, right? hint - patch cords ;-)
