    Re: Zareason Terra A20 - does anybody own one?

    I'd also like to hear more about the Zareason. I'd be ordering from Australia but I really like the look of them - great colour - and would like to support a Linux-centric company.

    Maybe some sort of record for longest-running thread ever.

    I'm listening to Deep Forest - World Mix.
