On a lighter note, one comment that probably was missed by most people
was that ALL-BUT-ONE (and I don't recall which that was) of the demos
that he showed used EXTERNAL-MIDI for the playback.  In other words,
only one of the demos used the Mac to synthesize sound on the fly.
This was stated at 12:10, just as I was getting up to leave and
revisit the dealer area.

Just thought I'd pass on what I remember hearing.  Yes the sounds
were very good, but... is it MIDI or is it M*C ??????????

(sigh)
