Eric, thanks for taking the time to be so clear and articulate about 
this. It makes me realise I was locked into a historical framework 
and expected the future to fit into it.

>The Sound Canvas analogy REALLY makes me cringe

My apologies for that. I didn't mean that your new instruments were 
like Sound Canvas - just that Sound Canvas was non-expandable. I owe 
you a lunch next time I'm in the USA !!

Anyway, I still have my credit card ready.  :-)
Please let me know when I can place an order and I'll be the first in 
the queue.

Best regards - Colin
