How can someone spend so much money on something that can be done on computer at much lower cost and much more efficiently?

I can Understand someone using a MPC-60 of 3000 because of their unique sounds. But the 2000, 4000 and anything after that are just computers in an expensive box.

Workflow is a big thing.

Different things work better for different people. Don't why people have such a hard time understanding this.

I just got a proposition to buy an mpc2000xl from sombody here's the description:


"I'am selling my MAXED OUT MPC 2000XL (with Maxed Out RAM, "RARE" Floppy/USB/MCD/SD/CF Drive, 8 Outputs, VERY CLEAN, ALL Buttons, Pads, screen and knobs work perfect!) AS-IS for $200.00 (Or Best Offer) There is a OPERATING SYSTEM PROBLEM however that I just dont have the time to fix this unfortunately. My Loss, your Gain.
The Machine powers up, but the screen doesnt show info. Maybe a disk or something is needed or something glitched. If you figure it out, Then you got a KILLER machine for cheap!"


I wanted to know should I cop it and would the problem with it be easy to fix?
