I bought an Yamaha digital grand piano out of pure desire, but rarely I 
find either time or motivation to play it.  My interests are always 
shifting circularly, sometimes more on programming, more on povving, 
others on videogaming, music... it was so much easier concentrating on 
one thing alone when you didn't know any other way or it wasn't readily 
available... :P
