*** YOUR PIANO CAN BE REPLACED BY A COMPUTER ***

	Most synthesisers today are equiped with a MIDI (Musical Instrument
Digital Interface) interface which is becoming an industry standard (Hooray!)
Tons of hardware and software is out and more arrives daily. If anyone is
interested, pick up a copy of any issue of Keyboard magazine and look at
ads galore. If anyone needs more information they can post questions to
net.music.synth or myself.
