Ok here's mine:
It was 2003 - I'd just bought my first real synth (MS2000) and I wanted more. Living in NYC at the time, it was easy to check out the Virus in person either at 48th St. or in my case, at "two lines music" cuz I lived downtown within walking distance. But the lowest price I could find was from Novamusik, so I bit the bullet and ordered it. Then the day came and it arrived, I remember being so excited. A brand new Virus C desktop. I setup a keyboard, plugged in the power, grabbed some headphones. I wanted to focus and dedicate a whole afternoon staring at that delicious red screen.
I turned on the power. Cooooool, so excited. Played a few notes. Sounds great! So I decided to go deeper... I grabbed the filter knob and proceeded to engage in my first filter sweep and then...
...the power went out. 2003 North America blackout.
