Well, my trusty IIGS may lag behind in some areas, but when it comes to music,
come taste the rhythm of a 14-voice synthesizer chip, supported by three
integrated toolboxes, one of which is a processor for a type of musical
scripting language.

I like listening to songs on the shareware program SoundSmith whenever I
start believing all the people who tell me I made a mistake. Makes the
heart warm again it does.
