It isn't just average boards or arrangers. The Motif, Yamaha's "flagship" workstation / synth, which came out maybe at the end of 2001 (?) still employs "simms" as the memory storage for sampling. Two PC's ago I had "dimms" for internal ram. Two PC's ago was early 1998. Many other recent keyboard offerings were still using floppy discs instead of smart media / hard drives / etc for media storage.

It has had me wondering at times how long the "latest and greatest" boards are actually on the "drawing board" before they are released.
