see the http://www.lionstracs.com site
the base model starts from 2990 euros equipped with an athlon 2000xp.
for example running the NI B4 on that box takes only a few % of the cpu.
I'm posting this text running the mozilla browser inside the mediastation's LCD using an on screen keyboard thanks to the builtin touchscreen.
ok posting a screenshot or you will not believe me :-)

I'm not a keyboard performer, but sometimes it should be handy to check email and browse the net while you are away with your keyboard (without the need to bring with you an additional PC/Laptop).
Some examples how one could connect the keyboard to the internet: LAN cable, USB wireless card, analog modem or even through a cellphone (GPRS/UMTS).

Ah sorry I forgot we are talking about a musical keyboard .... but anyway these additional bonuses that come for free with the keyboard never hurt.

eg you could do your live gig, record it and send it as an mp3 to your wife/husband/family /friends living hundreds of miles away via email.

Or if you are really really nice we could even put icecast on the keyboard which is a live mp3 streaming server. That way you could broadcast your performance to the internet in real time without the need of additional hardware/software.


Ok shutting up for today. :-)

cheers,
Benno
