- I love this ad. It's been around for years, and it gets my vote for "dumbest
- mistake in a magazine ad". The picture in the ad protrays a man sitting at a
- desk with an ST in front of him, and an electronic keyboard to his right. He
- appears to running some kind of sequencing program. Now, look at the picture.
- Look at the MIDI ports on the left side of the ST... WITH NOTHING PLUGGED INTO
- THEM!

- How can they claim to know anything about the ST's use in music, and not even
- have the computer set up right in their ads?
