Subject:  Banana Jack tragedy

This is Roger's wife, letting everyone know that today
after reading the group Roger sprung from his chair,
grabbed every banana jack interface in the place,
and jumped head first into the deep gravel pit behind
our house.  His mangled remains, but completely
unblimished Q121 are barely visible at the bottom
as we await a crane.  I'm sure this was due to the 
constant proding over this ingenious module that few know
the true use of.  I'm no electronics expert, but Roger
tells me he was able to design this module WITHOUT using
opamps (whatever that is) while retaining all necessary features.
I'd like to see one of you do that!! I'm sure that many 
of you feel guilty - and well you should.  His talent and 
true desire to please all synth-a-holics has finally
taken its toll.

He did leave a note to fellow Dot COMrads,

  "that does it you moroons! the stress is too 
  much! Now you'll never get a filter bank!  All orders 
  have been transfered to their MOTM equivilants and 
  Paul will be calling for additional funds!"

Roger will be missed.  Now, what do I do with all this
CRAP he left behind - tons of keyboard instruments,
(one says mini-something, one says mellopond, one
says arp 260000), a box full of Moog 960's (probably 10-20),
computers, spectrum analyzers, robots
- man I'll make a fortune just selling this junk by the pound!

As I glare at his tattered remnants and dream of
what could have been....... Wait, I see movement!!!!
