I've seen prices for the 4MB simms as low as $30!!!! That means you can get a full 200 seconds in an Echoplex for only $120 or so. When the thing first came out nearly 2 years ago, the 4MB simms were close to $200 each, and having the full 200 seconds seemed like such an extravagant luxury. Now it seems like everyone should have that much.... kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
