I just love a good screed! Or diatribe, if you will. Especially if it's 
really profane. There's enough in your post to argue with for thew next 
year, but let me just pick on this one point, which isn't really a matter 
of opinion. The fact is that the multiple key contacts in the New B-3 are, 
by far, one of its most expensive-to-produce features. The XK-3 was 
designed for a price point that would sell more than a few units. If it had 
analog contacts, most of us would not be able to afford it.

I do applaud your spleen however.
