Almost every old skool IMD has had an Atari 1040 ST computer. Amazingly it still is some's personal favorite. I don't own one, so I don't know. But I know that lots of people use some really old version of Cubase on it, I think 4 Hero uses Creator, and nothing else. From what I hear these are really primative and easy to use programs, mainly the reason why they don't give them up. I think Mike P. had one. Aphex, who knows? I know that some people on IDM's nemesis Fatboy Slim uses an Atari and is scared that the music will stop being made when his breaks down because he's afraid of new computers and what not. So it seems to be a pretty solid machine. I think I remember reading also that it was popular because it had that built in MIDI port. Plus it's bloody cheap. Rusty
