Yeah!  I see ESI-32's for sale every day for $100, sometimes even less!  I'll 
probably also pick one of them up one of these days -- how can I resist?

Same with me.  I use OS9 on the Mac, and I will stick with it until I am 
absolutely forved to upgrade.  I waited to upgrade to OS9 until this year (at 
least three years after they introduced OSX).  I use version 3 of MOTU's Digital 
Performer for sequencing and audio recording (they're up to version 4.5 now, 
which is still buggy and which requires OSX), but honestly, version 2.7 worked 
just as well for me -- maybe even better.

P.S. -- Hardware Buggy Whips are far superior to those new Virtual Buggy 
Whips (VBW's).  For one thing, the new ones are still way too, umm... buggy.  
Horses like them better, though, for some strange reason.
