Glad I waited on the Audya. I'll wait for Audya II when it comes out in 2011 me thinks. >> It will mysteriously have gone down in price by about a Grand, will not lock up during critical playing times (or at all.. hopefully ), have even 'more' polyphony, and be even lighter, yet still have 76 keys - albeit, on an even "better" action key bed. It will more or less be what the Audya I was meant to be. Just like Windows 8, which will also be coming out in 2011 (or thereabouts), will be all that Windows 7 should have been too. Ah.. what a breath of fresh air. Yep.. 2011, now that's the ticket. We may even see a 76 key Tyros?? 4 in 2011 too. Wouldn't that be mind boggling eh?

Start saving those pennies.. For Audya "II" or Tyros?? 4 that is. OTOH, Vista with SP2 64 bit is actually pretty decent now. I just might spring for Windows 8 though when it comes out in 2011, or thereabouts. I would have sprung for Windows 7 but the reports coming back, and my own experience with RC1, have given me second thoughts. We'll see.. maybe 7 SP1 perhaps. I think Fran said it best: "if it ain't broke why fix it?" Thanks for the reminder Fran. OTOH, Audya "II" here we come! Audya I appears to be just too buggy to even consider getting if you ask me. But what do I know. DonM, on the other hand, seems to have gotten a good one.. so far. Glad yours is still going strong with no problems to speak of Don.

All the best,
Mike
