Screw Midi, screw M-lan...and while your at it, give internal ram the big
boot to the curb as well (smart media is the way to go). M-lan seems
acceptable since it can pipe audio in full stream as well, but so can
firewire...it's already become the premiere methodology for video
transferring, at least in the consumer to semi-pro market...it should have
become the prime method for multi trakc recording as well...why not
integrate midi too? USB was only eaten up by consumers over firewire becasue
it was pushed harder, but its by far not up to par comparitively.

Of course, none of this will actually happen, the weaker path always seems
to be taken through to the mainstream in the computer world...pc's over
mac's, usb over firewire, proprietary money grubbing OS producers over free
open source faster products (linux? or even BeOS?), MPG2 over MPG4 for the
digital video standard, MP3 over WMA...ouch....come on.
