hahahahahahaha!!!! ROTFL!!

...oh...ah ahaha, ok, <wipes eyes> ughh..
...if it really had knobs, and even had colored buttons, it could be a
SU700, the new Yamaha sampler/drummachine/everythingbox, which I have high
hopes for, having gotten several cheap barrels of monkeys out of my SU10
thus far.
Else, it could be the SU10, QY-10(not a sampler), or newer QY/SU
sequencer. I can't think of any battery-powered black boxes with knobs
not made by yamaha...
BTW, You are really geeky if you walk down the beach with one of those,
and I just can't believe she is that geeky. Like when you are that geeky,
you are late to fashion photo sessions and shit because you have your
headphones on and loose track of time, right?!! Shit, she could just as
well walk down the beach with a LAPTOP: she's got MONEY, c'mon!!!
Little black boxes usually have LCD's that, in the hot sun at the beach,
geeks have to squint their eyes to see, and consequently get those
wrinkles that their fashion photo-journalists are always putting
Preparation H on to shrink away.
