Ha ha ha! Yeah, I made mention of such things as these in passing and with 
a greater emphasis, as usual,
on mirth-making than sought-after objective correlatives; not to say 
hardware, for that. "USB-to-1/4""
seemed to me to be an adapter waiting to happen -- plus, at least at this 
early stage of the game, sort
of comical, as in: "I just bring my Powerbook, my Big Muff, and fourteen 
Marshall heads powering
thirteen 4x12 cabs (I'll send the flowchart) with me on the gig" -- and I 
guess the wait was not so
long, for that. Just call me the boy who cried "USB"...this happens a lot, 
possibly too much.
