Hi!

Please search the archives for this nice little swede telling his views on
drummers and how they aren't supposed to be allowed to even own delicate
electronic equipment. ;)

Those are easily replacable with something fun!

I once owned a single voice card and sold it quite expensive since there are
some neat CEMs on there...
