I have a small request to ask of any and all ST-midi enthusiasts.  A good
no-net-access friend of mine is looking to go into the midi arenaand
knows that atari is quite aplayer in this niche market.  What he is asking
is why shouldn't he go out and buy the Yamaha portble Midi computer.
so if you could reply with answers to these few questions, My friend and
I will be very thankful.  I can also post a summary.

1) Significance on the absence of a midi-thru port on the ST, anybody?
2) What cpu model is probably the best most economical but flexible one
to choose, in terms of pricing, versatility, program compatibiltiy etc.

3) Your opinion of general software for Midi use, brands, names anything will
help.  
4) Why use an ST instead of the Mac or Yamaha/Casio etc.
5) Other interesting hardware implementations, like SMPTE equipment etc.
6) What your setup is and how productive has it made you.
7) ANything of value you'r like to add including flames etc

Again, I'd like to thank anone who responds for their time.
