We are here...just quiet.  I personaly own a SidStation but not a 
MD.  I have never really gotten into the drum machine craze...I still 
use standard synths and samplers to make my noizes and sequence all 
my drumlines on my computer.  Maybe if I had the $ to spend I might 
never touch my computer drum sequencer software again but the MD (or 
any drum machine at all for that fact) is $ I just dont have :P

I am still waiting for someone to come out with a good visual editer 
for the SidStation.  I know its not that hard to edit on the unit 
itself but for me its hard to keep track of what is going on.  I need 
most (preferably all) of my controlls displayed at once so I can see 
how things are fitting together and whatnot...I am really bad at 
programing when I have to remember what every settin is in the patch 
I am editing...sure it sounds stupid but its true.

Ahhh the Mono-Machine...yet another machine to drool over with no 
$...Really I just need to breakdown and sell off my computer and get 
a real synth with a little more versatility...I own a Quasimidi Raven 
Max, an ESI-4000 turbo, and a SidStation...not the best combination 
if you want to make anything other than 80's dance music :P
