Actually his machines are pretty reasonable, and what he's doing is 
very clever. He has Giga coming up as a screen on the Mac, with MIDI 
distributed over ethernet. Plus he has the system streamlined for 
efficiency - i.e. it's more than the hardware that he's selling.

Despite Evan Evan Evan Evans' great work, the subtext is that the 
present and future for the next few years (in my estimation) is in 
multi-computer set-ups if you want to run libraries that are way 
bigger than one machine can handle. And unfortunately you can't run 
EXS24 mk II (the one with streaming) simultaneously on multiple 
computers unless you want to buy a whole new Logic Pro package. It 
would be great if there were the equivalent of VStack for EXS, but 
there isn't.

So I think Mike Smith (Coyote) has a good solution. Not the only one, 
but a good one. I've met him, and he's a sharp guy.
