Er, I'm a musician/composer/synth builder/software engineer, not a graphic
artist wanna be. I have created these images because people ask me to, not
to rip anybody off. IMO there's nothing feebler than sampling others' music
and playing it back virtually unchanged to rap over, because you are too
musically challenged to at least program a new drum groove.

Seriously, I don't claim my hacked up images to be showroom quality. My
personal opinion is that they serve a useful purpose on this list, and on
the site in the "coming attractions" section, unless someone (do you
volunteer?) wants to do a more high fidelity mockup for public consumption.
For previewing coming modules though, any image is better than none. Perhaps
a notice could be placed on the News page: "WARNING - Simulated Panel
Layouts!"
However I am very uncomfortable with my "chopped up 8 bit dopplegangers"
appearing on the actual web pages for shipping modules. Therefore, PLEASE
REPLACE THE IMAGE OF THE 420 WITH A SHOT OF THE REAL PANEL!
