Well, first of all, you don't ask help by slamming the thing you're 
asking for help with, particularily when you're asking help from what is 
likely a large group of advocates.  Nothing pisses me off more than 
someone asking for help with an attitude.

Let me bore you with a story....

I stopped behind a truck that was stalled on an exit ramp of I75 once. 
I couldn't tell what was up.  The owner looks around and yells at me, 
"Can't you see I've stalled?  How about a f**cking push?"  I changed 
lanes and went around him.

Now you may think I'm an asshole, but as I came to the next 
intersection, I handed the pan handler at the corner his breakfast, 
which I had made a habit of brining him every Friday.  I did that for 
about a year, until I changed work locations.  I stopped the last friday 
I was going to be there and let the poor guy know.  He was nothing but 
thankful.

I must have missed it, or assumed I could not assist.

Dow's pretty well versed in SuSE 8.2 as well.  I've not done anything 
with midi at all.  Generally, if I have time, I'll dig around and see if 
I can find an answer as I enjoy the search and learning something new. 
Right now I'm just too bloody busy.

Aaron does play with noise quite a bit, so he might be a useful source, 
if you say please. :)

Drew, I would have thought you had some midi experiences based on our 
discussions around keyboards and pianos, no?
