Digital Performer 4.5 on a G4 PowerBook. Works great!

I have a Firewire 410 audio/MIDI interface from M-Audio which I use
with the PowerBook. At home I have an Edirol MIDI interface/patchbay
(as far as I can tell, the only patcher that does -not- require the
use of a computer) as well as a MOTU pocket-sized MIDI interface that
I can't recall the name of.

Anyway, I do all my recording on my PowerBook. My guitarist buddy has
a Yamaha digital mixing/recording deck. It's OK, except mine's better
because I can record on my laptop but he can't send email on his
Yamaha. <g>
