So you're saying that, by buying the SoundBlaster for use with MIDI equipment, 
you'd be getting a better, higher-quality product than the "industry standard"
product that the lemmings buy, and you'd pay less money for it, to boot? After
all, everyone knows that Beta has better picture quality, longer standard 
recording time, and lower hardware prices than VHS.

Sounds like a good deal to me!
