Ah, I just watched the whole thing.  I'm a little reassured that its at least 
aimed at folks that want to practice with it.   That's totally cool.  Its just 
like using a ultra customizable Jamey Aebersold, +1 type of thing. 
Like a lot of things coming out today, I think they're all great tools and can 
be very effective if used in the right way.  Its just a little scary to think 
of all the ways it could go wrong.
     Phil, I think you got it when you said that people will want to see real 
musicians as a special event.  That is both scary and sad for me.
