It's 1992 (?) and FSOL 'wrapped in plastic' bloke (at least in that Future Music photo) reading Telecom Monthly, says : "We can use this ISDN thingy to our own advantage..." Other bloke: "Doesn't that cost loads of money per month?" Plastic bloke: "Doesn't matter, we can just sell this analogue gear." Thanks guys, for promoting a piece of technology that no-one but big businesses and rich techno musicians can afford. And that's just the analogue gear... Jeremy.
