<< Christ! and I thought I was the only one with having trouble with automatic restarts with Win2k. For the matter I'm using ME on that machine now, with all my lovely music progs (Cubase 5) running joyously. From what my input is on the Win9x vs. everything else....you can't beat the majority of software written for this platform stable or unstable. re you running a network or some shit? Multitasking, shit like that? Quake 3, Cubase 5 and websurfing at the same time? Peshaw!

Ah yes... ME. I prefer that to win2k. As for the majority of software... Like what? The only reason I'd like to have a PC for music programs is for Acid.. Now granted, Bitheadz just released a similar program for mac, but I haven't tried it yet... I also do like Soundforge, but, it's easily replaced with several mac audio editors... The high end audio apps work much better on macintosh, from my experience at least. And you also get nifty programs like Studio 9000, Soundsculptor II, Metasynth, and Absynth.. All of which are fairly inexpensive, and highly intuitive and powerful. But.. As always.. My ideal setup would be having both a P3 and a G4 running side by side, networked. <<re you running a network or some shit? Multitasking, shit like that?

Nah... Two of the computers are constantly connected to the internet via 2 way cable, but the other isn't even at his house. There is only one that has the automatic reset on it, but the other one with problems is just plain messed up. On the computer we use for music, it is multi-tasking Soundforge, Acid, and whatever other audio program we are using at the time... But, it's even crashing when only WinAmp is open. << yeah those win2k drivers are killer to find.

Not so much that.. It's just a pain in the ass to have to do it. :P -j --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
