OK UD, lets hear it - the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. I'm growing weary reading all this speculative BS from old guys who want someone else to compensate for their age-related eyesight failure.

Has anyone noticed that the folks that seem to be doing the most whining about the S950 are the people who are NOT going to buy the keyboard - even it it had those features. DNJ always moaned about the silver color, saying ALL PRO KEYBOARDS should be black - then he bought a blue one. When Yamaha came out with the big, lighted buttons on the Tyros series, there were people that said they were too gaudy. Prior to that the same people complained the buttons were too small and needed to be lit with brighter lights - duh!

Hell, I'm living aboard my boat until mid April, and down in the sub-tropics where the humidity was so high last night there was water dripping from the tent-roof of the Tiki Bar where I performed. All my gear was damp from settling dew. I want Yamaha, Bose, TC Helicon, Acer, Quick-Loc and all my mic manufacturers to make their equipment hermetically sealed and nitrogen filled to prevent condensation. It should probably float too, so I can safely transport it on my inflatable dinghy. Oh, I also want a lifetime warranty that covers everything including beating on the keys with a ball-pean hammer - yeah, that's what we need - factory to grave coverage.

C'mon UD - we're waiting with baited breath for the report.
