For the record, 

	1. The four original members of Devo (Mark, Gerald, Bob I, and Bob II)
	   are still in the band.  Only the drummer, Alam Myers, has been
	   replaced (by David Kendrick).  Alan Myers had been with them since
	   their first album, but not as long as the original four, so it's
	   not totally shocking that he left.

	2. I would *not* run out to the record store to look at the nifty
	   Amiga graphics; they apparently wanted a "pixelly" look, so it's
	   not terribly impressive.  The latest Timbuk3 album has much better
	   Amiga graphics (and credit to Deluxe Paint--though not the Amiga
	   it runs on), and an Amiga keeps popping up in the video of 
	   "Reverend Jack and his Roamin' Cadillac Church."  (Yes, that's an
	   Amiga!)
