Not so. :)
The ICBM (Inter Continental Ballastic Minimoog) has slayed many.
I myself once play the solo to Heart's Magic Man too loud and took 
out many dancers.
I imagine that both Wakeman and Emerson are responsible for many more 
fatalities. ;-)

The nicer uA726 has some wider ranged specs and can run hotter, but I 
also imagine it got pretty cold for a missile up there.

I found about 40 uA726s years ago for $4 each, btw.
Chip for Brains found some too and sells them on Ebay reasonably cheaply.
I don't find they go bad all that often though.
