I want a Neutrik Digilizer. I've been trying to get one to review ever
since they came out, but I guess the magazine I write for isn't
interested in reviewing something that makes you think very hard.

I'm torn actually... the Digilizer looks cool, and CRL labs had a little
digital audio analyzer that looked neat at a recent tradeshow... and the
nice thing about these specialized test sets is that they already know
how to recognize the necessary patterns, and do the math.

I have a problem or three with all the boxes that don't know if they want
to grow up to be a mobile phone or not. (Not grow up that is.)
1) They ought to be able to survive a fall to the ground (just like, say,
a Fluke DMM) and when you see plastic pcb mounted connectors you know it
won't.
2) They ought to be able to communicate with a computer at least as on
option (just like a Fluke DMM).
3) A display that you cannot read across a room is of limited use.

I know all the cost/market size size considerations, but at the price they
come in at they are too limited and simply don't get bought.
