That's the kind of comment that gave the 80s a bad name. BTW, I had a pair of white pants once. The first time you sit down, they're ruined. That's why they don't make white pants anymore. “I wonder what Steinway would think of his piano NOW!”

That’s the kind of comment that gave the 80s a bad name.

That takes me back to my first exposure to samplers (Fairlight, Synclavier, Mirage) in the early 80's. Two things strike me: - how little the systems have changed in the last 25 or so years. Hell, they even take up roughly the same amount of space - how much better the pen is than the mouse as an input device Thanks Peter! Wow!

It's also strange how I can now do just what they did, with better sounds, on a machine that literally fits in my pocket! (Eeepc) The best bit in the second video is the presenter at the end. "What an amazing machine." Such enthusiasm! It’s amazing to look back at the introduction of technology we now take for granted.

“What an amazing machine.”
Such enthusiasm!
