[sdiy] Serge and multiples

[poker]

I find it strange that the only people who 'fail to understand' anything
about the Serge modular system, are people who don't own one, or have never
used one.
on the same note, i've never heard anyone with any experience on a
bananna-jacked system of any make fail to see the convenience and
flexibility bananna jacks offer.
