YEAH, BABY!  That would be monumental.

A friend of mine has a Microwave XT.  It has a much nicer interface 
than the WS, but somehow the WS just has a touch of 'magicalness' in 
the sound that the MWXT lacks.

I've heard that Korg's new softsynth version of the Wavestation is 
*close* but not spot-on.  Meh.

Let's keep that hardware alive, folks!  Boycott softsynths!  (just 
kidding)
