Is it really worth it? I mean should we be trying to pull back to sanity a 
company that is foresaking the NeXT music market out of some crazy hope that 
the PC market will be more lucrative? I suppose it might be based on the 
sheer number of installed systems, but what a nightmare to work on. I know, 
I do it every day. By choice most of the time, but I wouldn't even attempt 
to do music on it.
Personally, I'd rather see a new kid get into the fight
Someone that can really do a good job of it, incorporating (as everyone is 
no doubt sick of hearing me say) a MIDI sequencing option, a sampling and 
sample manipulating section, perhaps a notation translating/scoring ability. 
In short, a really hot item that takes full advantage of what the NeXT can 
do, that others can't. 
Isn't there someone out there interested in picking this project up?

Please?
