right but if you can't live without this one feature, then perhaps
you should have done your homework before dropping $1350 on it and
badmouthing the company for the machine not being what you expected.

cool.  I was not aware that future-retro was so responsive to their
customers.

right but you're talking about bugs now, not features.
and are you trying to say that the companies listed
above have no bugs whatsoever with their products?
I highly doubt it.  the bug will be fixed, I'm certain.
if you can't wait for it then you will have to pursue
other means.  that's kind of the nature of the beast
when dealing with electronic instruments.

then you probably shouldn't be using hardware.  hardware certainly
has more limitations than software and encourages creativity by
forcing you to work within them.
