Ok guys, I admit I'm a sucker for electronic gadgets. Realizing that the Yamaha Tyros continues to satisfy my music creativity & professional performance needs and that I probably won't need to upgrade soon . . .

I went ahead and ordered (online) an "Archos Gmini 400' portable MP3 + Mpeg video device, which competes with the highly successful Apple iPod & newest iPod Photo, which only supports storing & viewing still pic yet costs twice as much as the Gmini 400: http://www.archos.com/products/overview/gmini_400.html

Though I doubt I would ever use it for this purpose, the tiny Archos Gmini 400 could be connected to a TV screen to display a picture slideshow or video adding another dimension to your show.

I'll let you know more after I get it, and have a chance to explore this thing. Hey, we pro musicians need to get away from work too, right? I'm guess I'm just a kid (at heart) who refuses to grow up.
