Regards the Best Buy (and similar stores) policy...

I used to work for my state Consumer Affairs dept. so I'm fairly familiar with consumer law. The trick with these stores is this. Go down to your local library and photostat the state consumer laws. When they pull their "bait and switch" or "out of stock" or "we don't give rainchecks" I tell them politely but firmly: "No way, Jose!" Please review the consumer laws which I have printed out here.

It works every time! This is what I do myself and I carry them around with me everywhere, because this stuff happens way more than it should.

Ref the GC situation. I can see it going a step further than that. In the near future you're probably going to see even fewer pro arranger keyboards on the market. Has anyone noticed that no one these days takes the time to learn or play professionally (OR sing even...watch American Idol). Music and performing will somehow be integrated into a computer (which is a natural seque as computers do everything for us now anyway).

Meantime, I'm NOT throwing away any old keyboards!
