occasionally loading it up just to listen to the demo songs.
I have some xmms plugin that lets me do that, if I remember right, but
yeah, what a great sound chip that was.

Sold my c128, and one of my c64s bit the dust, but its successor still
lives in my parents' basement about a hundred miles from me.
Others have mentioned the Amiga, and I got a lot done with Music-X, but the
most productive tool chain I ever used was Digital Orchestrator under
Windows 95 with my Gravis Ultrasound PnP for real-time sound and Timidity
to render the tracks digitally for overdubs. (It sucked for the actual
overdub process, though, and when I was running Windows, Cool Edit was not
great for that yet either.)
