man i loved that mixer when i used it. the EQ and the FAT channel were soooo nice!

you can pick em up for about 2500 now, well worth the cash.

IMHO - the things that i think are will change are

Human Interface - controllers that behave better than now.
Better emulations of Analogue.
Greater Bit depth in audio files (64-128 bit true)
Consolidation in the market - (players buying each other)
The minaturisation PC components is a major factor. (How long before we begin to see computers that consist of a touch screen monitor and nothing else?(i know about the apple g5 screen thingy...) The Neko computer workstation in my book is a rip off, if the idea takes off it should become much cheaper...In other words, the computer as a dedicated music workstation (after all, the x-box is a games machine...)

Truly unbreakable anti-piracy measures.

The last one is that most important in my book (for obvious reasons..im ) Mostly i would like to buy the programs knowing that i really am getting a decent product that has been researched and will get decent regular updates.
