I have been learning how to play the piano for the last couple of years,
and am considering buying one. One of my options is buying a digital piano
so that I can hook it up to a computer and use both of them to compose
music.

I'd like recommendations from people on the net about

(1) How does the feel of an electronic keyboard compare to a real piano?
(2) How does the sound of an electronic piano compare to that of an
acoustic one?
(3) What are the advantages/disadvantages of both choices?


You can either e-mail responses or post them. I will post a summary if people
are interested.

Thanks a lot for your time in advance.
