[sdiy] OT? sequencer question

Just MNSHO, but you can't replace your amiga. You can only find something
similar to it; pencils and pens may do the same thing (usually),but
compare your handwriting wth the two, and you'll find that the ahndwriting
wth the pen is more fluid, with the pencil more fidduse (at least, that's
what I ifnd with my handwriting).  Or, another analogy (!), why use analog
when you can use digital?
