that sounds like a fun game. It seems a lot of people here have very 
little 
concept of the economic realities involved in developing products for 
esoteric niches in the musical instrument industry.

So why don't we play? those of you who like to jump up and down about this 
a lot, how about you provide us *YOUR* analysis of the economics involved? 
How much do you think it would cost to develop such a next generation 
looper? How long do you think it would take? What would be the costs, and 
the price? What would be the operational costs and overhead involved in 
selling such a thing? And most important, how long would you be selling it 
before you recovered your investment?

looking forward to some amusing replies,
kim
