>I'm guessing they think it's needed in order to keep the size down
and keep the wow factor up (my daughter in 3rd year and her friends are
dying to get it), whilst still providing alternatives for
connect-ability so it's not a deal killer for users like us.
Also, by doing so, they are driving the market (wireless) and therefore have
a leg up
on the competition by establishing tech standards. I believe they were the
first
to drop floppy drives, use Firewire etc.
Not saying I agree with their thinking, just speculating as to their rationale,
FWIW.

id my Yale reunions. I went to my ten year and people were BITTER.
It was 2002, right after the bubble burst and they all realized they weren't
going to retire at 35 like they thought. So my decision to use my twenties
kicking around the world, getting high and getting laid suddenly looked like
a much better idea ;-)

For the other synth geeks like me, Spectrasonics announced their new =
synth - Omnisphere,
based on a new engine (STEAM - replacing the UVI engine that have used =
in Atmosphere, etc).
Sounds like it will be very cool based on the short teaser, but it's a =
ways off: Sept 15.
Euphonix:
Also word is PC support for the MC Control/Mix may be April. The =
Control should be shipping in March,
so not too far off.
Roland also bought a major share of Cakewalk.
