Peer reviewers are all volunteers, the journal only pays the staff that coordinate the reviews- email a bunch of people and ask if they'll do a review (and often that's semi-automated now), and the editor that makes the decision a

Hm haven't seen any machines that have the similar form factor, but the only arcades I go to are in Japan. Would be interested what music they have in the clone machines. I had a sideloaded APK that was a Jubeat approximation called Yu

I've got a T1200XE which runs at a staggering 12 MHz but has the same form factor and monochrome screen, which was a leased business system from my father's job that they ended up letting us keep. The last couple of times I took i

I like the Jetstreams, but had a few black refills that I had acquired over a few years in 0.5 and 0.7 prematurely stop flowing. The black cartridges in the newest Jetstream pens I've purchased have been fine. Not sure if they had a fe

SoundOnSound is great, especially since they still host their entire review history. They tend to show up in my top Google results, when searching for older audio equipment at least. For things like mixers and audio interfaces, they've
