That never happened here in Germany. The MonoPoly never went down that much.

An honest business never should think about credit. Buy what you can
afford. If you can't afford, then wait until your savings got that far.
(our world economy crisis is based on the fact, that so called
businessmen, think that credit is base for business. It is not.)

Ok, next investment will be a Roland Jupiter 8, which was used for that
recording ;-) (In the Musicland Studios I played once the one they used).
