I'm on a Mac and I promise you, it's really six and a half dozen of
one, and the other. You can have the slickest machine in the world but
it's all in the nonmechanical thing called "talent."

It is because I know this that you don't see me trying to make music or
PRETTY pictures despite my King's Ransom in fancy software. (I DO it,
but you don't see it, lucky you!)

I ran McGgrrznicks k'bulger niBLIC12 for the Skazzbazzik's pisternine
-- but, 47 or 51? Gozotsbe. Then my HIBlock 9qa.4f. went J.H.V. on the
froplocket painpan so we had to porterfy the pisterFLICK. Like god damn
1995. Fuckin' pisternine 9-ed out on me! But, sorbtepterfuge! It was
only $59.95.

You should have ponied up the extra money for the HIBlock 9qa.5g, they have
15000 millicratz of cRUM and a
teflon coated froplocket.

No Stang, DON'T DO IT. I hear they run a little hot if you don't have 6
fans inside the case.

All you need is a CPU fan, and leave the case side cover off.
Get a large diameter slow fan and its quiet,

1 meg of 3200 ram do nicely, overkill even.

With a big tower I can easily get 4 hard drives in raid
and have room for that new DVD -R/W +R/W below the
CDRW. I have the hot swap carts, I just need
2 more hard disks and the RAID board. Real
hardware RAID, not the fake cheap stuff.
My big beasties have 10 5 1/4" bays.

Linux is neat.

I can get IBM's E-VMS free for personal use.
Cut up that big 160 gig RAID disk into any size
virtual disks I want and give them real names, no
C:, D:, E, or HDA0, HDA2, etc. Or whatever Mac
guys n' gals use.
I can name them SYSTEM-1, backup-sys, pr0n,
WAVS-1, PVR or whatever.
Resize on the fly.
Built in security.

Each volume can have its own file system.
Reiserfs, EXT-3, JFS, or whatever.
Fat 16, FAT 32.

I can even run multiple OS's, boot into
Linux, suspend and run, W-98, suspend
and run something else, or run multiple
OSsen in virtual machines in the backround.

Tres cool.

Or I can run multiple examples of Linux.
I scored a copy of VMware 2.0 for $24.00,
I can run all my old games or Windows 3
programs under a virtual machine, and hot
key in and out from various instances of Linux,
or whatever.
Now all I need is the $$$ to buy a legal copy
of AutoCad 2004.

I can download tons of neat stuff for free,
like a virtual 24 track recorder that runs
well under my new Midiman soundboard.
Load the low latency Linux patches and JACK,
and I have a hard core recording system
that 5 years ago would have cost $100,000.

Next step, learning to program Perl, and set up and use
Open CYC.

You obviously have not met iDRMRSR in person.
