That being said, it is my suspicion (unfounded with any facts, just a hunch) that both units will be replaced with something new in the fairly near future. They are both getting a bit long in the tooth.

take coffee beans (10 to 15 should be enough) .... squash them with a hammer or something you can squash them with ... untill it becomes powder. But leave the little shells in it. Now, take some boiling hot water (you can cook the water while you squash the coffee beans). Next, take a cup or a mug, put the powder in first, then slowly add water. Not too much, like say 1/3 of a normal size mug should do it.
Now, the next part is the tricky part. Print the digidesign logo, you know ... the big blue D on a piece of white paper ... you might wanna resize it a bit in photoshop or something. You need the logo because you are going to copy it onto a piece af white cloth. A square cut out of a bed sheet for example will do nicely. Put the cloth on the paper ... hold it up against a window or something so you can see the logo through the cloth and carefully copy the digidesign logo on the piece of cloth with a marker. A Blue marker of course. Don't worry too much about it being the exact same pantone colour as the original logo. The closer you can get to the original colour however, the better the result in the end but your printer probably screwed up that pantone colour anyhow so no need to get all paranoid about that ...
Now that you've copied the logo to the cloth, spread it out over a bowl ... like you want to make a filter ... poor the contents of the mug on to the cloth .... not too fast not too slow.
Now ... Fold the cloth ... alternating from top to bottom and left to right ... 3 times in each direction. Now put some phone books onto that cloth ... or anything that has enough weight to keep it down and squeez it. And leave it like that for like 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes you take the cloth and unfold it. Hold it against a light source and let the future reveal itself.
(or you can wait untill one of the next major trade shows of course)
