Thank you all for the friendly and helpful information/advice.
i use my p6360 to run some "old" midi audio sequencer programmes that when they were ported to OS X some of them died on the side of the road and others lost some of their features.
There is one particular midi/audio sequencer that Emagic and Roland developed to edit the Roland VS series of hard disk recorder. It was a step beyond the normal midi syncing. The Emagic programme Logic could be used to control the VS hard disk recorders especially used to edit the finished recordings on the VS rather then squinting at the LCD screen of the recorder ( albeit the LCD screen is fairly large on the VS ) it's the "paging" back and forth to make adjustments to volume, panning and twirlying a knob or punching the entry button. When Yamaha bought out Emagic and Apple joined forces with Yamaha to develop the Apple flagship midi/audio sequencer they gave up on Roland since Roland is a competitor of Yamaha. That's as best as i understand what happened between the three corporations.
Therefore I can't give up my P6360. The USB ports will help to make use of DVD burners and so on.
Please excuse my long winded story but i'm an old guy and that's what old guys do.
