While I totally agree that a company any company should fully actively support their keyboards for a reasonable amount of time. For me reasonable would be no less than 5 years in this rapidly changing hi tech world. Which is a huge reason I dumped my PA80, because Korg did not. All companies should deliver what was promised period.

The fact that Yamaha has not delivered a simple o/s upgrade to Scott's pointing out of the fill to self hang mode with a standard pedal to me is inexcuseable.

I have since bought keyboards with a different mindset and that is I buy them for what they are, where they are and how they are now, not what they could be if.....I am allot less disappointed with them and the companies then.

I do take all that and the ludicrious replacement parts availability into consideration when considering buying anything else and at the prices they are now, I am much more discriminating about with who and on what I am going to spend that kind of money.

Also as has been mentioned before I think by bluezplayer.....I'm done upgrading for a couple of new features at a high price and loss of existing features.

I love to buy new equipment, but these guys are frying me out on it.
