Am I the only one thinking like this?
jindrich,

I agree with you, but your argument with the Soundcraft board is a better argument that this one.... 10 years from now, someone will be using that Soundcarft board because it isn't tied to some OS or computer that doesn't exist anymore.

I am a devoted PTFD user, but enough is enough. I like HARDWARE stuff that works by itself. (I bought my GLM mic pres over 10 years ago)...

Look at all of those people who bought a Fairchild Limiter when it was new - for years it was used as a doorstop - a long discarded device until one day it was rediscovered and now is worth $$$. You can bet your life that in 10 years, the C/24 won't be available - and if left up to DD, it won't be valuable either (like the Procontrol that I have).

So, at this time, I would rather buy music instruments or some amazing obscure analog device that won't be around for long (like 4 Wunder mic pres) - at least these pieces will be worth something in 10 years...!
