Rob, thanks for being a voice of the raw, uncensored truth. We need posts like this to balance out what is sometimes an overly politically correct bunch. It's almost as if SonicBlue were TRYING to mess it up as much as possible. I mean you can't pull off this kind of idiocy by accident. It's just not possible.

A while back it was said that SonicBlue purchased the Empeg team, not the Empeg product. That says a lot about the foresight of those who work at SB. It was strictly a human resources move to get talented programmers, "and oh, by the way, they have this product we need to do something about."

Their latest maneuvers constitute the electronic equivalent of black coal. And I thought I was nice this year, not naughty...

Anyway, in all seriousness, happy holidays to everyone, and let's look forward to great innovations in user development on the Empeg. SonicBlue can't take that away from us.
