IMHO, I'm rather pessemistic. It's not like they didn't have an extra year 
to fix the problem; the chances are, this is a hardware problem :< Still, 
we 
can be hope. My emu xl-7 was shipped with an OS that paused every time you 
changed patterns - totally unplayable. They fixed it the next day, though 
there are still problems.

Sure, but back in the old days, everything was a lot simpler. It's not 
just 
the feature creature - the stuff is just much more complicated from the 
ground up. This is why there are bugs in everything these days; it's not 
just lazy developers.
