Happy trails!
Who, if anyone, will be taking over your position?

I don't believe Mr. Voisey said "pro car audio". Someone made that assumption along the line. "Pro audio" can have a few meanings.

True, true. Live sound and recording studio equipment come to mind.

Agreed. Especially with debauchery at launch parties...

Speaking about David Hasselhoff, he was singing in the West End production of Chicago a while ago. Not sure if he's still there...

This just goes to prove my theory: Germans love David Hasslehoff.

All the best in the new job, if you tackle their business with the enthusiasm that you've tackled Empeg/Rio's: They're cooking on gas!

Well, I don't know about an "Old Boys" association: what about calling it "Empeg Outside"?

Hugo's original. Mike is a little bit less original. John is less original still. Toby was an original (and orogenic) bit on the side, though wasn't full-time until rather later. I'm not very original at all, but still original enough to have worked for the real Empeg and not Sonicblue.

Hey ! I go off for a holiday for a week and something like this happens! I sure hope this won't get to be a regular thing with my holidays, or I' swear I'll never go on holiday again !!
Seriously, though I'm a bit sad to see you go (after all, it was you who made me buy my first Empeg), I do realise things can't remain the same for ever.
Best of luck to you Rob, and congrats on the new job !!

Just how depraved is this Michael? I mean....CAN HE DO THE JOB????
Umm, Rob, seriously, all of my jokes about debauchery aside...I can remember some times years ago when many BBS denizens new and old asked zillions of challenging questions ("How come Empegs aren't free?.... like beer?" comes to mind) and you responded with patience, thoughtful deliberation, class, and just enough of the rapier to make some of us go "Good shot, Rob! I do believe you have killed him!".
Anyhow, I am not quite sure how this Michael chap can be expected to take your place.
Sniff.

Michael's a software manager. Although of course he'd be very welcome here, I can't see him spending a lot of time hanging out on forums for a product EOL'd three years ago: he's got other fish to fry. Hopefully Rio is big enough these days that we don't actually need our software manager to also be QA, beta co-ordination, customer liaison, and all the other huge number of things Rob did back in the Empeg days.

Thanks for all the good wishes. I'll let you know where I've gone when I start there in a few weeks, but be assured it isn't D&M.
The garden leave is over, and Monday I start my new role as Leader of Engineering for the new Akai Digital Technology Group. Akai Professional was recently acquired by my new boss, who also owns Numark and Alesis. My group will be involved in all sorts of interesting pro audio and video projects.

Congrats on the gig Rob. If you'll be at the NAMM show this January, let me know so I can say hello. I know Numark and Alesis always have a booth there as well as any other company remotely related to music retail. I'll be there as an exhibitor for the 5th year in a row.

Rob, that sounds completely bitchin'. Great. I get to say "I met that bloke once."
So, I don't have any musical bones in my body, but I think I could really use some of those blinken lights around the house to attract women. Do we here on the BBS qualify for a discount?

Should definitely be there (probably also CES as Numark does a bit of consumer stuff with its Ion brand).

I can't resist posting this as a solution.
Rob, congratulations on your awesome new job. I bet all the pro audio users out there will thank you for whatever cool stuff you cook up.
