(Q) Who can Join? (A) You can join Club AKAI. Anyone can join. (Q) What will it cost? (A) Nothing. Membership is entirely free. There are no costs involved. To join, just send in an e-mail (see below). (Q) Why join? (A) The AKAI mailing list is an excellent resource for us all, but we do not currently make full use of our collective numbers. If enough of us get together then I can approach various sampling related companies on our behalf to request discounts on the basis that we are a reasonably sized group. ie: I will try to get us all cheaper Sample CD's and perhaps even discounts on hardware, music magazines ...who knows!!! If I get special deals or discounts for club members, I'll post them on the AKAI mailing list. (Q) How do I join? (A) To join: 1. Send e-mail to TroyWoodfield@USA.NET 2.
