Hi Tony,
they sure have come a long way.

In some ways though, for me the 80's/90's were more exciting.

Went from little 4 track recorders and synth, and along came midi, wow.
Opened up a whole new world.

Came across my first technics keyboard kn800, took it home, midied to my Atari /Notator and there were the style tracks showing up in a score.

It is brilliant how far things have come.
