Good point KT so I'll change the subject...

I just got a new laptop and I'm looking at retiring the old 500mhz Desktop
to the kids for homework.

Just curious if anyone out there is using their laptop for recording and
what accessories or software you are using?

BTW, I have been using Cubase 5.0 with a Steinberg 24/96 sound card on the
Desktop for recording.

Tx,
Al

The way I look at it, the macmini is a sign of things to come. Feature
to feature, it's a better deal than a cheepo PC. It's got a G4, not a
celeron, and firewire. In a couple years this will have a G5 with
gigabit ethernet. Then we can stack them on a shelf for our
distributed processing system.

woot!

Not to sound like "crabby guy," but I'd appreciate it if we didn't stray
too deeply into this subject, especially when the inevitable comparisons
between Macs & PCs come up. It's a sure-fire way to shatter the peace of
this e-mail group.

Comparing the two platforms has destroyed a lot of Internet forums, and
it's all the more unfortunate when it's way off topic from the general
theme of the list.

I'm confident that I'm not the only one who revels in the camaraderie
here and worries about its fragility.

Thanks in advance.
