MOTM

As I write this (worked a full 13 hours at my day-gig) I see that someone
else has already answered the "which modules is it" question.  Looks like
blatant borrowing for commercial use from most of the guys over on
synth-diy (those that voiced an opinion).

Certainly JH intended to share his ideas and schematics freely for
"personal use" and clearly says that on his site.  Certainly commercial
production for profit is a different animal if you don't:
1 - ask permission
2 - credit the proper people
3 - pay royalties in whatever the manner then norm is for this use.

I don't want to drag that thread out.  I just wanted to say what a cool
idea the scanner is and how it might be a future candidate for future (hint
hint) MOTM consideration.

I could make some self-righteous statement like it would be a cold day in
hell before I bought any D****er stuff because of this incident.  But, I
wasn't planning on buying any of it anyway.  Paul is doing a fine job of
keeping my spare music money well spoken for (I did sneak in that Dual
Showman head, he he).
