  While we're at it (the buisness of veering grossly

 else here collects electronic music equipment of about the same vintage 
 as the computers discussed here? I have a Korg Poly-800, Yamaha DX-7II, 
 2 FB-01's, CS-01, a Sequential SixTrack, 360 Systems MidiBass, and a 
 homebrew MIDI interface to hook some of this to my Amiga. I have  
Yes, but not very enthusiastically.  I've never really got into 
electronic music, preferring to do my composing (and most of my playing) 
at the piano.

But, (getting a little closer to the topic) I do have a rather fun 
device - a Bontempi organ with a number of built in rhythms implemented 
in 74-series discrete gate TTL.

  BTW Any of you UK guys have collections of the old
E&MM magazine? I'm 
 missing 1 or 2 issues in the 84 (83?) season...  
Sorry, not something I ever read.

'Twas I, Philip Belben.  For what it's worth.  I don't think that 
bassoonists are rare enough that two or three on this list is 
statistically significant.  Still, nice to hear from another one.

(On the other hand, there is probably a strong correlation between 
bassoonists and eccentrics, and a stronger one between this list and 
eccentrics.)
