[Note for those that love to do knee-jerk reactions and parrot whatever they've heard on mass media: Just ignore this reply, it's not meant for you.] While a nice story, the version I've been reading about behind the scenes is quite a bit different. Yes, it's "novel," but scientists have already noticed that it includes sequences that are not natural - i.e., they were man-made. Therefore, this is a "weaponized" strain (which explains why it's soooo much more contagious than others). I'm hearing that this exact strain has been around since 1982. Yes, it was developed outside of China (most likely in the U.S.). However, while it was being researched at Canada's only Level-4 biolab, samples were stolen by undercover Chinese agents posing as legitimate employees. These ended up in two biolabs, coincidentally in Wuhan and, even more coincidentally, with one funded by the Soros Foundation. (Side-note: A biolab in Sierra Leone that is funded by both the Soros Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is under investigation in regards to the 2014 Ebola outbreak in Africa.) Another interesting point: An outbreak simulation of this exact strain of Coronavirus was performed in September only two months before the actual outbreak.

I feel a good mix of both is best. While the software variety can provide FAR more options without taking up tons of physical space (see image below of going overboard!), there's just so much fun in playing a REAL instrument and twiddling with knobs and sliders! Striking a good balance is best I think.

In your specific instance, I would refrain from saying "Eat me!" to your wife Bill. ?

Just add a "b" to their original use, eh? ?

Ok, I'll try to be more helpful. Here's a really interesting video that most people should watch: And if you want the ACTUAL numbers surrounding COVID-19, here's a very informative dashboard created by Johns Hopkins: CLICK HERE!

*Mesh's Boss* "Where are you right now?" *Mesh (actually sitting at his DAW)* "At my computer!" *Mesh's Boss" "Excellent! Keep up the good work!" ?

That's about all I've been doing this whole week! I've been remoted in lots of places: Portland, Seattle, Manila and Mexico! Most have never tried to use their home computers and laptops to VPN into work... Fun, fun, fun.

Actually, PDX is not my kind of area at all, but I DO like to see plants that are actually green! I've only lived in Vancouver, Camas and Troutdale up here after being paroled from Kalifornia after 40 years (born in San Diego, moved to Orange County when I was 24). My goal is to get something going where I can become wealthy with only an internet connection (i.e., without having clients!). Working on that now... Then I want to move a bit farther away from cities. Somewhere in the mountains that's quieter, with a lake or a river, but not too high up so I don't need to deal with snow. My "REALLY BIG" dream is to create a resort for those that need an escape. I have a LOT already thought about there. Someday!!!

I definitely buy a lot from them and have never had any issues!

Sorry to hear about that Bob!

If Bapu is a hoax..... then where the heck did all those posts come from??!!! ?

One of the actresses in the actual movie was my lab partner for two classes when I was working on my PhD (Tony Attell, she played a mime in the movie!). No, I've never seen the movie, so I have no idea what her role entailed! LOL. She also was Robin Williams' acting coach at one time.

That's worth $1! ("END TIMES" can be recombined to spell "TEN DIMES" you know! ? )

Coincidentally, this made me realize that everything I type in these forums sounds the same too! (Tick, tick, tick... tick, tick, tick, tick, tick... ) ?

Don't be a pane Ed. ? (You should have noticed I used plurals - multiple Macs for multiple Windows. Duh. ?)

?

Macs now support Windows!!! ?

Not sure which one that was. I had three different Korg's (including both the keyboard and rack versions of one). I liked my Korgs! ? An N5: And an MS2000 (and MS2000R - the rack version): And this little guy:

*Crowd* "Play Vivaldi!!! Play Vivalidi!!!" ? ?

Good to hear they "saw the light" Larry! I'll stop looking for my password now. (Which would have definitely only resulted in my making one flaming post before I was banned as well! ?)

Which part? ?

Man I like that song! ??
