Who really wants to say how much they are willing
to be played for a sucker? Fairness means a lot. Who wants to participate in
some mass negotiation with E-mu? If so, let them make the first offer.
Sorry, Creative is a huge (and possibly evil) company. They marginalized Ensonic
(who?) and they are diluting E-mu to the point that I
wonder whether they will be around in a year. When I get call from Creative
for my E-mu sound card from a woman reading lists that doesn't really seem to
know what going on (that was a month ago, where's my goddamned ROM?!!) When all
the synths never progress but are rebranded Soundblaster in new and various
colors the musicians will run away, but when the consumers will move in,
Creative will make more money and tough luck to all y'all.
Just a dire opinion/prediction I hope won't happen,
but worse things do.
Sure its a competitive market, but when the
main individual behing making the cools synths in the first place drops it
and is now into "soundcards" well, what went wrong? Perhaps in a few years that
individual will wake up and put out his version of the Adrenalinn or the Evolver
synth too. Waiting.

I was thinking more along the lines of "what would be WILLING to pay for an OS upgrade", not so much do you think it's fair.

Subject: [xl7] Re: New poll for xl7
Well, hit up the survey, but while filling it out realized something.
First off, I could answer the survey in two ways. The first was how I truly felt EMU should work things, in which case my answer would come out as IT SHOULD BE FREE. Were not dealing with installing a new chip or anything I'm assuming here, and really, when it comes down to it, it has only been under such circumstances that I've ever felt right about paying for a new OS for a piece of gear (which is the 777); which even then, have to admit that I felt the price was pretty darn fair. I mean damn, part of the advertising behind the Command Stations was that future upgrades would be available free!
Now though, when it boiled down to it, I ended up answering in a different way, which was simply what I'd probably be actually willing to do (leaving out the fact of if I felt it was fair or not). In this case, I end up be willing to make some payment (while also ending up pretty ticked at EMU).
Respects,
