[A6] Beware ribbon hold

[Mike Schultz]

No doubt, some of these problems can only be identified after  
rigorous testing and software QC; it is easy to get burned by  
boundary.  I have done enough coding and support to know that some of  
these items could be easily corrected if Alesis so chose.  They have  
enough resources to develop the Fusion, for crying out loud.  Or get  
a contractor on it for a week or two.  In fact, I think I'll go offer  
my services right now.

I had a brief have look into this Haskell.  Intriguing.

I just can't fathom why anyone should make excuses for poor software  
quality.  It's the pathos of a generation reared on the blue screen  
of death.  Other synths may also have bugs, even worse ones.  THAT  
SUCKS EVEN MORE!

C'mon!  Raise yer fists!  We're not going to take it anymore! (cue  
dee snider =:-D)
