Poll question: Which frivolous purchase should I make?
I have a dilemma- there are two frivolous purchases I plan to make this weekend:
1.either a MIDI controller so I can do home recording with ease,


2. or the Sims 2, which will bring me hours of enjoyment and lost time



I'm leaning toward the MIDI controller- I've been wanting to learn how to play the keyboard properly, and so has Cathyclysmic, but damn, the Sims 2 looks like fun!

1. My special logic dictates that anything that creates a sellable product
is more important than something that doesn't. I am for the keyboard!!!Who knows where it will take you. :hi:

5. MIDI
Screwing around on the computer to make music is a lot like playing a game like the Sims, but the big difference is that after several hours you actually have something to show for it.
