Hi Ron,

Yes, I can do better with an outboard computer. But I cannot play back 
pianosoft plus cds, I can't do pianosmart, it isn't a nice, small, 
combined unit. Plus there are loads of people out there without a 
technical background that would love a plug and play solution. Look at 
all those people that buy tivos - you get far more power building your 
own system, but it's just too much hassle / clunky for most people.
