Funny... I had that same problem with an EMU. I bought an old esi 32 and freaking hated the damn thing. Great sampler...wonderful sound design stuff, but I just hated the OS.
For people who are into the hardware the way I am, I would offer this peice of advice. If you dont like the peice of gear...get rid of it. Find something you enjoy working with a peice of gear that inspires you to work with it...your music will thank you for it.
