with the empeg EOL'd if it breaks is there any hope that SB can repair it, or will repair it, and if so, how long do you think that will last?

I am trying to decide if i shoudl buy another and just closet one of the 2 of them.

Well, I would expect SB to at least honor waranties. After that, I am pretty confident that David, Hugo, Patrick and the gang will repair their babies as long a it will be humany possible (e.g. as long as some spare part or its equivalent is available). For some things - like fascia - a cottage industry is developing. So I would not worry too much.

That said, I *did* go and buy a 60GB unit (I rationalized this as doing both disk upgrade and procuring a backup unit at once). I am using the new unit - it doesn't make sense not to take advantage of the warranty period; the old 18GB one is in storage (I will perhaps lend it to a friend).

I think he's just the first to ever score a point in that new game, "Beat Tony to the Post".

I couldn't find it in the FAQ, but this game has already been played here.
