   For 50 bucks it seems like a decent deal.

   All I know is that the sound is so bad, we haven't gotten the recordings of   
   the services and rehearsals in over 2 months.

   None of it surprised me - neglect to take care of hearing, and it slowly but   
   surely gets lost.

   That's got be a LOT of playing!

   It's audio equipment. There's no reason for it to stop working because of   
   not getting the latest 'upgrade'.   
   A Yamaha Motif is a computer - it literally boots up, but it keeps working   
   without so much Silly 'upgrading'.   
      
   > Yep. Upgrades are when the designed in planned obsolescence bites you.   
      
   Just don't play along with them, and use what they call an 'outdated'   
   system - big deal...mostly Hype!

   Good idea.

   Just don't go along with Them and play Their Stupid game!

   That's Their problem...and we should make sure that it STAYS Their problem.

   I don't know, I've never had a tablet, been thinking about one, but if   
   that's how  CRAPPY they are, I'll NEVER get one!
