This one was "ducked" years ago. 99.9% of this stuff never happened any Mac user I know. Maybe he was working on a pre-beta hacked version of OSX or something. ?? The thing about the Dock is true though. Anyway, talk about irony. I was reading this on my PC here at work. I looked at the Apple commercials (cute, I thought), then looked at the link in your email. Oops! Outlook Express decides it doesn't like something and locks. I mean a hard lock! I barely got control-alt-delete to bring up the task manager so I could shut OE down. Anyway, got it to close, re-opened and BAM! Locks again. Another control-alt-delete and close. This time I decide to reboot the whole machine. So far so good. Anyway, I just thought it was funny based on the Mac commercial. I use both Mac's and PC's with great success. They both have their idiosyncrasies. I did find that most of the anti-PC commercials on Apple's site had more truths in them than that old anti-Mac spoof. Who really cares though? Use what works for you. Tony "W.

Got the >when and where though.... fridge door. Goin' there....Hey gang, thanks for the detailed responses. This is such a tough decision. I am now leaning towards staying with Logic and upgrading as I spent some time last night with a colleague who is running 7.2. I like the fact that I was able to navigate through the software quite easily despite not upgrading in four years...this keeps the learning curve to a quiet roar. Thanks again!

Ikea rocks! I found a cool patio table made of beautiful wood that is not solid. It is made of individual boards with openings between them, so it does not act as a solid reflector. Here it is: http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay ?catalogId=10103&storeId=12&langId=-1&productId= 17580 It is very solid and doesn't wiggle at all. I haven't measured the monitors with everything in place yet, but I listened to music as I was putting it all together and did not hear anything strange happening. Holy cow! The monitors sound very much better! I am listening to the net feed from KUSC.org and it just shines. I am very happy. Now I need to setup the sub with the analyzer and get this record mixed. I will post a pic as soon as I can. BTW, I am thinking of losing the computer monitor too and hanging a decent data projector and a screen behind the monitors. Any of you work using a projector?

Other times I'm equally >sure, and I'm off by a fifth. Or a third. I can relate to this, though most often I'm either off by a 5th, or by a semitone, and I'm reasonably confident my semitone errors date back to the fact that I learned piano on an instrument that was almost a full semitone flat. I often suspect if I'd learned on a concert pitch piano I'd be there already. >I had a teacher once who could "hear" an >A in his head, and used that to tell the pitch of everything else. Been doing it for years. ;o) I have a few songs and notes I can recall on demand, though it's sometimes s struggle. Sometimes I have to turn the music off in the room and get silence so I can imagine a reference note. Depends what the key is and stuff. Certain keys are easy. Acoustic guitar songs in G or E are very easy. Piano songs in C are easy (I mean there's a million references you can call up). It can be hard sometimes though, to keep two songs in your head at once and compare intervals, if they are in completely different keys. >Anyway, it as set up mostly >to use with another person, This is why I downloaded this: http://www.brenthugh.com/eartest/ ....it's the other person, for $12... >the first >lesson, sort of the demo, was to have your friend go to a piano and hit an >Eb, and then an F#. Maybe I should start with those notes. They are quite obvious examples of different tonal colors. Cheers, Kim.Deej, I'm using 1017. I see that there's a new revision out, 1018. Have you tried it? Good to hear that 1014 fixed your problem.
