I have recently been trolling the photo section of the list and 
noticed how much more tidy everyone's studios seem. Mine is not at 
all! It doesn't usually get in the way but I must admit it makes it 
hard to have someone over to jam with. I decided to use public shame 
as a means to stir me to do some cleaning. So here are my "before" 
pictures:

Hopefully soon I can post a set of "after" pictures. I'm hoping some 
others on this list have some clutter to share so I don't feel too 
bad...

-James, in the basement, hopefully tidying up a bit.

I actually use the Mirages all the time. A piano Mirage sound mixed  
with a Wavestation is the main sound I use. Also Mellotron-like string  
sounds. Now the Macs are another story. I have some seldom used  
software on some of them (Max for instance) and lots of old graphics  
programs (I'm a graphic designer in the real world) but most just are  
there cause they have something on them that must run on a older OS or  
different hardware. Some of them fall squarely in the "door stop  
vintage" category. I don't know if you can see the 4 Apple IIcx  
computers stacked behind the one rack, true candidates. There is also  
an Atari with Dr T's omega software in a pile somewhere down there.  
The trouble is you can't throw that stuff away noadays - you have to  
pay to get rid of it. And it does still work. Someday they will be  
free on Craigslist I suppose...
