Kirk Degiorgio said regarding expanding his record label too much: "Sure the increased income was nice but SO WHAT - I didn't have time to sit down and watch the Simpsons anymore." A man after my own heart. I feel incomplete if I can't vege on Homer et al after grinding all day.

The Serge HAS undergone all kinds of changes. The early filters especially have been called dirty and grungy, the new ones are very clean. In addition to adding the BLOG, PDIV, and other modules, Rex has done a lot 'under the hood' to clean up & improve various modules... in some

Hi RM I agree and sympathise with every point you make. Thx for such a constructive post. I would like to repeat a point I made in a recent post that nobody seemed interested in replying to. It is about the introduction of new modules rather than the 'whole panel' issue. When Rex

Right. Also, in order to just PAY THE BILLS, ie, the techs, the rent, insurance & all the other silly overhead, Rex must charge a certain amount for things, or the whole enterprise just isn't worth it. The cost of running a business is quite frequently more than the sum of the co

Back in the late 70's when kits were still being produced, it was a relatively simple matter to buy one module at a time. I remember that the main objection that Serge had to putting together a panel this way was how the front panel would look. These were the days of paper graphi
