Well, as you stated, I *DID* quote you. ;-)

Have you actually used a JP-6 with Europa's interface? I'm not talking
about looking at the manual - I mean actually played/used it?

Andy, this is crossing over to axe grinding. Can you please stop with the
JP-6 dissent? We all are PAINFULLY aware you don't like the JP-6. You've
expressed that opinion clearly. So why continue to post such things?
Everyone so far has disagreed with you. Am I not correct in thinking that
there is nothing left to be said on the topic?
