Gary we do share one thing. We both keep our keyboards far longer than most on the Zone. When I lay down several thousand bucks on a keyboard. Shoooooot.., it's for keeps man! I can't just upgrade everytime a new model comes out I squeeze every ounce of juice out of the keyboards I buy (or as much as I can). I even hold on to some boards (that would be considered dated today).. simply because I put so much work into tweeking the thing.

Some of you guys are in the position to spend the money you do..., and take these trips. I say that's great..., because at this point in your lives YOU'VE WORKDED DAMN HARD FOR IT and paid your dues (and them some). I say knock yourselves out. However, some of us aren't there yet. We still have a ways to go
