You document your trail through any troubles pretty well and are persistent. I never had to ask for help, which is what I expected. The Ensoniq was also priced right ($30 US). When it comes time to change, I find it is far more valuable to know what can go wrong and how to fix it. You do this before you choose the hardware. I figure manufacturer's follow the 80/20 rule and I don't want to be part of the broken 20% and find out about it after I purchase their equipment. If I hadn't followed the multi-boot issue months ago I wouldn't have considered upgrading my graphics machine. The thought of adding FreeBSD on to the W2K machine wouldn't have occurred if it wasn't for kdevelop or Code-Forge and KDE. It wasn't until that point that I had an environment that hit my minimum. The debugger (ddd/gdb) is still pretty weak in some areas when compared to Microsoft's but the rest is ok.
