MOTM

The sad yet (very slightly) hopeful story on the catstick:

Sitting in an attic somewhere is a small pile of NOS Catsticks.  There is a
guy who could possibly get them but hasn't, as it's a pain to get 'em &
check 'em out/ repair as needed for sale.  Apparently the guy has better
things to do than cater to the whims of us synth geeks ;)

Mark Pulver could I'm sure add more/better info to that sad saga as he was
the prime mover trying to get the deal done.  It's been over a year since
all that was (not)transpiring.
Ah well.  More's the pity.

And I still call him at least once a week to bug him about this.

His phone number is taped up right here in front of me...
