I have been thoroughly enjoying MrGadgets' submissions, and this one also does not disappoint.  After hearing this episode, I feel like we're kindred spirits.  I also studied Sound Engineering and have always had a love for computers and music, and eventually that also led to synthesizers.  Hearing MrGadgets sprinkle some talk of synths in his history of computers (and journey to Linux) really made my day.  I have Mark Vail's Vintage Synths book and spent hours reading the history of synths from the analog Moogs and ARPs to the digital DX's and Mirages, and evreything in between.  MrGadgets, if you're reading this, I definitely look forward to your segments on vintage synths.  Kudos on all of your segments thus far. :-)
