Gary, congrats on the Plugstation. Hope it proves to be a success for 
you and Kenton...and Yamaha too.

I'm pleasantly surprized they - Yamaha - bought into the concept. Did 
they subsidize the r&d? Did Kenton and you have to reverse engineer 
the PLG design or is the spec something Yamaha openly licenses? The 
CS6x, S30 and S80 appear to fall under the category of 'commercial 
success' so can we expect Yamaha to perpetuate further PLG boards and 
PLG capable hosts?

Good news for you AND the PLG users ;-)

IMO, an update to XGedit would definitely fall under the 'value added 
service'. Bet your users would love it!
