MOTM

>This is not a mail bomb.

That's a relief. I was thinking some may take my humor too seriously.
As I said to Paul, i had a bit of a laugh with it...no offense taken!
(note to self: use more smileys ;-)
I've been too busy to read much list stuff lately, but when you see a
graphic that you **or a parallel version of you** (theremin music here)
have done is downloading to your inbox, it's a classic "twilight zone
moment" that I found quite funny/weird.
Add to that the "copy of a copy of a..." regression, and it just hooks my
sci-fi/philosophical/quantum humor to the point that I rattled off some
stuff top-o-me-head...

Reminds me of a time I searched for some keyword regarding synths and the
search engine called up an old post of mine to analog heaven--kind of a
weird feeling......

I hope so! Stay away from my lattes! (wishing I could recall the mentat
invocation from "dune')
Really, more quasi-philosophical humor which probably fell flat, used to
set up the Marxist bit...
(Jung! Plato! nyuk nyuk...really clears a room)

I agree that they can serve a useful purpose, as do many of your posts
regarding patching ideas, etc. Whenever Paul gives me a "locked down"
design, I try to get a 24 bit jpeg to him asap.
I do *often boring* corporate video/cdrom/webshite for a living, but do
Paul's stuff for "motm points" (at way less than half my going rate btw)
because *I believe* in the beauty and power that is motm, and Paul is a
really cool guy with good ideas...but you know all about that!

Enough stroking his ego, now is time to take him to task---
I just went to the site and you are right, the 420 is just the old graphic
mockup, not the final versions. Same with the news page.
I sent him gfx for the 420, indeed all of the "news" items on May 26! As
Paul said, he does the programming, I just do the gfx.
SO ALL CAPS TO YOU PAULIE! UPDATE THOSE GFX!
I hear he's been very busy, but WE NEED OUR FIX.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I noticed the -5/+5 pot on the fm input, and this seems
logical--those of you who have 420s, please tell me--are both fm pots -5/+5
or 1-10 or one of each? I may have to change the gfx to reflect this!
Thanks in advance!
