Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Hi,

somebody here mentioned EMU did not show up at the Frankfurt 
Musikmesse. True? This would be very strange!
Realm, didnt you say this should be because the Messe is regarded to 
be an european event - so not too important to EMU, may be?
Well, I allways believed, the Messe is the biggest international fair 
of the business, so EMU should have been there, no? Besidesu, Europe 
should be the most important export market for a traditional US 
Company like EMU. What is more, I still believe EMU is a Scottish 
Company, now? So why stay away from a european fair "in the 
neighbourhood"?
Once I worked with a german publisher. When things went bad, visiting 
fairs was on top of the red marker list. I hope EMU had other reasons 
to stay away. Actually I was interested to get some information on 
when a p2500 card will be available for the XX-7. Didn´t they 
announce in this group, it should be in t´he market pretty soon?

Another question to discuss:
About the XX-7 there is only little communication to be found on the 
web compared to - say - the RS 7000. Hardly any substantial User 
reviews on sonicstate or harmony-central since months. Instead you 
find people wanting to sell their EMU boxes. How do you think the XX-
7 sells right now? I do not want to bitch the command stations here, 
I am just curious if they support us with OS updates in the future. 
To do so there must be a substantial amount of sold units in the 
market, but I doubt there is - so I really rate EMUs user support 
very high because of all the information and customer care given 
here. 
(I still miss a new OS desperately!!!)HOW LONG?????
What are your thoughts?
