New MM owners that is!  I look forward to hearing about what everyone 
thinks of it once they start playing.  I would be curious to know 
what the US customs cost is as well.  

Also, I noticed the 115/230 volt switch on the back, forgive my lack 
of knowledge but is that for people traveling between countries with 
different electrical settings?  If you accidently have it on the 
wrong voltage is MM toast?  I know I would only use the 115v setting 
and it seems like you really would have to be careful not to bump it 
into wrong setting.  Now I have to go over my finances to see if I 
can fit Mr. Mono into the budget within a few months!  :)

$78 something, I believe. (they tell you on the MM checkout page)

I think it's more so that anyone can use it without having to buy
external voltage converters.  this way, they send the same unit to
Germany that they send to the US; they just send a different power cable
and have you flip a switch.

I hope not!  I think most companies put a fuse in there to protect the
machine.

Very nice design.  Some boxes you had to open to change the 
voltage.  I sure hope they made that switch hard to move.  Maybe a 
good solid click.  I always hear stories of people banging their 
keyboards up, Jesus Jones style.  I just cracked myself up.
