Wow, I gotta go out and waste a whole buncha time too. First, I need a  
fruitless effort to persue.

I heard somewhere that refurbishing Mellotrons is a fruitless effort 
to pursue.

You are correct sir! Luckily, I have two new fruitless efforts on  their way. 
So until my M4000 shows up I can continue to pursue useless endeavors  and 
pass on arcane information to those who will suffer it.

This is so funny...  Such geeks, such MTV inspired low-budget spastic
wacka-wacka attention-deficit editing, the device sounds awful, and
these guys are so incredibly pleased with themselves.  Wow.

It would have been much more spectacular if it was done using 8-track...  Preferably using versions of the Eagles "One of These Nights"...

Then it would be a Birotron.
