hep, brother, did we think about the same stuff simultanously!

amazing how many loopers are not connected or dont care enough

amazing how many have an old computer and dont care for mp3:
may I suggest a mixture: the first 4 as audio and the rest CD-ROM
with more mp3 and Quicktime videos of you showing some basic
functions to give an idea how easy it is to start.

having more space with the mp3, we can also include some more
noise/colage stuff to suggest that one can have fun even if not
playing an instrument well.

yes, sound in magazines is just perfect!
>For that matter, a general article in a magazine would be great.
I am supposed to write one with Gary for EM... I will!
others can write for others...

>Torn, Michael Brook, Chet Atkins, Keller Williams, Trey Anastasio, etc.
>as well as the not-so-usual ones: guys as far-flung as Neal Schon, Paul

gee, you are so sweet... I need to program ;-(
