| Oh no no, I'm definitely interested in the TI. The thing is the price. I can find a used Virus C for relatively cheap, not so with the TI. Plus it's easy to upgrade later on and the TI is firmly the last one on that list of three with the Andromeda edging out the Nord. |

I never wanted to hit a fat UPS man in the face as much as I did today. I went in there already angry, but completely under control (cause yeh its been sitting there since last wed but I understand its not their fault, I mean I'm sure the entire UPS deserves a nice 4 day vacation for turkey day when I dont get a single fvckn day off).
Ahem, but this is how the conversation basically went.
UPS: "Hi how can I help you today?"
Me: "Yes, hi, my package has been on your trucks since last wednesday I'm wondering if it went out for delivery or if its here now I can just pick it up?" (I'm assuming its out on delivery so I'm not expecting it, I really went there to put a hold on it)
UPS: "Ok sure thing, name etc etc.."
Me: Waiting
UPS: "Can I have the address please"? (Im trying to remember as good as I can how everything was said)
Me: ****** (address)
UPS: "A PO BOX?"
Me: "Yes, a PO BOX".
UPS: "We dont ship to PO BOXES.."
ME: "Well apparently you do, because UPS delivered a box to my PO BOX 3 weeks ago, I still have the tracking in my email if you wanna see.."
UPS: "Well, we aren't suppose to.."
ME: "Really? So why do you still take packages addressed to PO BOXs if you're not suppose to be shipping them to PO BOXs (this is when that magic word money comes to play I guess)"
UPS: "Its just policy blah blah blah"
Me: (holding my breath)
*THIS IS WHEN THINGS GET BAD NOW*
UPS: "Ok well if it was addressed to a PO BOX that means it never left the facility (this is like hearing Angelina Jolie wants to blow me, basically meant that I didn't have to wait till tommorow to get it so I'm pumped)
Me: "Oh reallllyyyy? Awesome, so then I can pick it up now?"
UPS: "Uh hold on.. let me just see here (hes looking through the computer).
*waiting
UPS man now actually gets off his computer, and goes onto the one right next to him. I'm thinking "hmm... that seems strange".
UPS man looks up at me then looks back down.. now I'm getting shaded out (I get shaded out real easy by people when theyre behavoir seems to change for no reason).
But this guys behavoir changed I guess cause he became nervous for what came out of his mouth next.
UPS: "Im sorry.. well it looks here like it DID go out for delivery (start crying on the inside lol).. which is not typical"
Me: (trying not to strangle UPS man)
Me: "So.. that means I can't get it today then?"
UPS: "The driver won't be back till later tonight, it depends on what time he gets back really.." (his nice way of saying no is what I hear)
Long story short I give him my number and they say they'll call when it comes back. I walk out cursing under my breath. Get a call at 6:15pm, I'm in class. It was the UPS, they closed at 7 so I basically had 45mins to pick it up, was not happening.
Oh well, at least tommorow I know for a fact I'll have it. I put a hold on it so it stays at UPS now and they can't move it for 5 days. But g/damn all I want is my fvckn Virus. I was so close to actually yelling it as I was walking out "GIVE ME MY FVCKN VIRUS!!! ALL I WANT IS MY G/DAMN VIRUS!!!!!!!!" but a virus isn't gonna do much good when I'm in jail so yeh.. thats my awesome story today.. |

When did the Andromeda become a virtual analog? |

| what exactly do you need then? You can technically make music with a stick and tin can. Your reductionist logic is silly. |

I have to disagree. Especially when the 3 mentioned all have quite different characters and operation. Plus, they're not all pure subtractive synths. |

| People also buy new gear because they enjoy it and think it will add to the fun of production, not just because they "need" it. ;-) |

And some people forget how fun it is to work with a room full of synths. :p :D ;) |

And yet a lot of people find it a heap of fun. Your experience is simply that - your personal experience. As my experience is simply my personal experience. I wouldn't tell people "buy some hardware synths, they'll be a lot of fun", because I don't know that. It seems you have no problems telling people "don't buy hardware, it's a big hassle and not worth it". Please understand that not everyone is exactly like you. |

Are you dense? They aren't the same kind, they all have their different characteristics and uses. Fun is the main reason as well as achieving a certain sound from each of them.
You've made your point clear and we get and respect it, but just stop now. You're getting tiring. |
