Hi Summa,
  Well all this stuff has been collecting and collecting and one of 
the best feelings in the world is to get rid of all the useless junk 
and clutter that one piles on in life. Since I can't get these things 
to work and are obsolete, I took the oppurtunity to trash them and 
relieve myself of the burden of having to cart  this stuff around for 
the rest of life. If they were useful in some way I would have gave 
them to charity but they're less useful as a doorstop or an ashtray.
Did you ever want to do that. Grab all the crap that you're saving for 
absolutely no reason at all and are never going to use and just chuck 
it?  ;)
I think soundiver has random functions and maybe I'll build some more 
sounds when I'm in the mood. Funny thing is most of this "old" midi 
synths apparently are a pain to get working right in a modern software 
application. I once asked on the soundiver list how come all those old 
editor/librarians for the C64 and the Atari all worked great with the 
Casio's and now all of a sudden they're so terribly hard to implement.  
I forgot what they said, though.
