Hi all, Good answers, Frank. I think that your 5w's consolidation makes sense. My separation of the synthes from the computers was done deliberately because this answer involves processing speed, RAM and Disk space as opposed to synthesizer. I kept the Windows thing in there because of Zipspeak. the answer to the M$ is usually no, but since Zipspeak qualifies that answer, I figured it should go as a separate question. thanks for the additional questions. Keep 'em coming, folks. Ann P. -- Ann K. Parsons email: akp at eznet.net ICQ Number: 33006854 WEB SITE: http://home.eznet.net/~akp "All that is gold does not glitter.
