Fran: How come you state your opionions as FACT? You really need to preface them as merely your own personal view. I know there are plenty of people here (including myself) who adamantly DISAGREE with your above assertion.

Fran, I realize you may think your remarks merely humorously flipant, but yhe kind of assertions you make, and often of keyboards you've never actually auditioned yourself before (such as the G70), only serve to CONFUSE newer members here who rely on the judgement of us senior members here. Just my take on this of course. - Scott
