I love the wisdom of Allison's remark, that what some of us still see as "recent current events" is "ancient history" for the youngsters. ___________________________________ I certainly hope people here don't think I'm a youngster since I just (re)joined the list. I started in computers with the 1401. I didn't look at computer generated music until I saw the talks at Usenix Nashville 1991. Especialy the one done by the guys from Bell Labs. I always had an interest in music as well as computers but didn't connect the two at first. Now I am very interested in MIDI. I am in the process of converting an old Baldwin 46H Console to MIDI (as the electronics in it were shot and beyond possibility of repair.) Once I had my COCO 3's up again if I coudn't figure it out myself I was going to ask about interfacing between my Casio keyboard and my Orchestra-90. It could prove rather interesting to use a COCO as the sysnthesizer for the Console Organ once it is rewired. :-) bill
