Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Gary,
No problem. I wasn't taken aback by the poll, just wanted to know why
someone wanted the info. I'm naturally suspicious as I'm a product developer
(not music or computer) and am always trying to find out more about people
who use stuff that my team works on. A poll like the one you set up would be
a very useful way to do this...

I'll fill it out, no sweat,
Rick
