Lexicon didn't have much experience with low-cost consumer type products, and lost a lot of bucks trying to get into that market. Naturally they wanted to stop losing lots of bucks, so the stopped making those buck-losing products. Of course, they have a very long and presumably profitable history making high-quality professional gear, for which they have an impeccable reputation. However, as numerous companies in every industry have discovered, success at one end of the market rarely translates to success at the other. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
