YEP, bugger aint it.
Chris Crosskey has an amusing story about going into a pawn shop afterseeing
an
alphajuno at a stupid price (50quid), the guy said it didnt work and he
couldnt
sell. Chris asked for a set of headphones and powered it on, sure enough
Midi Local was turned OFF. chris sort of played a bit makeing it look like
he
was trying. He took off the headphones and told the shop keeper he'd take it
as he could probably use it for spares! and walked out the shop with it for
50quid.
