    I would have to sort of agree with all that.  You want to work for a synth company,
you are probably better off starting your own.  Think small.  Do what you enjoy.  You may
only sell a few units a year.  Keep you "real" job.  I like doing what I am doing,
because it is more fullfilling than my real job.  Hopefully, I will be able to sell a few
of the things I am working on.  TomG is a good example.  All I can say is I sure wish I
had his energy!  Who knows, Tom may turn out to be the top synth maker in the world
someday, maybe not.  I would be willing to bet that he is having "fun" doing it.
