    Have fun, and ... uh ... remember your COMMUSIC buddies if you should 
    happen onto any old, used equipment lying around ...
    
    Steve

    Best wishes to you, Rick.  By the way, this may be a good opportunity
    to get the DECMS involved with "Field Test" of new/improved products.
    We certainly have the user base ... 

    In any event, enjoy your new job.

    When you get some pull, Richard, whyncha persuade Kurzweil to a)
    get that $50 1000nn MAC editor to market, and then use it as a medium
    to distribute lots of fun sounds on floppy for the 1000 series.
    E-Mu Systems is making a mint on their library !
    
    Best of luck. It's great to couple computers and music, isn't it?

    Congratulations on landing a good music-related job!

    Sounds like a great job that will allow you much more time for your
    music.  Not to mention employee discounts and benefits (sure I have
    a VT100 and a modem at home, but I'd rather have a PX 1000).

Best o luck.  ...and have FUN!

Todd.

    Congrats!
    
    Edd

	My best to you as well...

    Best wishes Richard.  If they ever need any marketing dweebs, give
    me a call ;-)

    Good Luck....Hey, employee discounts, free programs, field testing
    equipment and software is great...but what *I* really want to know
    is....Do they have any other exciting jobs available!?!?
    
    Think of us when you see new job postings
    
    Best wishes,
    Dom

    
    well, gee, sounds *wonderful*.
    
    Realistically, tho, it's yet another software engineering position.
    
    And, the emphasis is on Engineering. With the usual pressure to
    meet milestones (maybe MORE, cause you gotta be ready for NAMM)
        
    Sounds glamorous. Have fun!
    
    And say hi to Ray for me. 
    
    Tell him I do occasionally wonder what it would have been like
    if I had accepted his offer as a co-founder way back when.
    
    Its all in what you want to do! Make the most of it!

Although I've been "Read-only" here for a while now, just thought I'd
mention that I am also leaving DEC (on very good terms) to work for
Kurzweil Music, designing VLSI chips for their next generation
keyboards.  (Filling the vacancy left by Larry Bodony, who left there
on good terms to bigger and better things - though that's another
story). 

I do plan to be on USENET (a personal account, until I can convince 
Kurzweil of the benefits of being connected), and will post my net 
address when available.

So, if any of you want me to carry any "essential messages" with me - 
drop me mail before 1/20.

I have enjoyed my 8 1/2 years here.  I appreciate the learning,
camaraderie, and personal support so freely given by many in these
notesfiles, and I hope to stay in contact with the friends I have made
here. 

Keep the faith
/j

{now if I can just get someone to set up a batch-extract-and-send-
on-USENET job for this notesfile}

    Hey, when you play the Commusic tapes for Mr. Kurzweil, remember
    us, okay?  ;-)  Hope you have a *lot* of fun!

RE < Note 1401.12 by BINKLY::WINSTON "Jeff Winston (Hudson, MA)" >

	I'd hardly call going to work for Kurzweil 'biting the dust'!  Good 
luck!

	Dan

< Note 1401.14 by NRPUR::DEATON >

re .12	Good luck and ENJOY !!!

	The only  "Essential message"  I'd like you to carry is that 
I'd prefer to see them keep features/functions/performance about where 
they are and reduce price over time  vs  increasing f/f/p over time for 
the same price,   i.e. next generation PX1000 would be real nice at 
$500, I'd probably buy one - though something with 4x the f/f/p still 
priced at $2K I'd continue to leave alone.

	R

{Yeah, I *_DO_* know the realities of the business, but I dream too}

    If that's biting the dust, may my mouth be forever dusty.

    The way things are going here at DEC, I've been a step away from
    sending my resume there for about 6 months now.

    It is truly a great blessing to be able to combine your love
    of music with your training and make good money doing it.  I'm
    envious.

    	db

    btw, there's another ex-Deccie/Commusic'er there to say hello to.
    	 His name is Rick Cohen, and tell him I said "hi".

    
    Good luck Jeff! Let me know if they need a technical writer!!
    
    Mike D

    > Let me know if they need a technical writer!!
    
    Mike,
    
    I don't know if Kurzy needs one but I suggest that you send 
    your resume to Roland.   ;-)
    
    	db

    
    Not a bad idea, Dave. I could just have you and Len, and everyone
    else in here tell me what was wrong, and I could just fix it. You
    guys could review it thoroughly, and the manuals would be excellent!
    You (and all other) Roland owners would benefit, and so would I (would 
    be a hell of a lot more interesting to write about than what I'm doing 
    now).
    
    Only one thing wrong: the commute would be murder ;-) !!
    
    Mike D 

Well, I have to admit they appeared to be tyring to fill several slots...:-)

	/jeff-who's-being-silly-but-appreciates-all-the-supportive-notes...

Good luck Jeff. Larry was my "manager" there from 1983 to 1986. He designed
part of the K250 I did the test equipment and diagnostic work. Don't let
them burn you out.

dave

    
    Yes, say hi to Rick Cohen!  Like Dave said in a previous reply,
    Rick was an active COMMUSIC Noter and he's over there now, too!
    
    Good luck to you, both!

    re: -1
    
    Oops, just realized this was Rick's goodbye note.  Obviously, you
    already know he's at Kurzweil!
    
    Say hi anyway!
