You probably need to get yourself some Ddrum triggers & a good e-kit brain with highly adjustable sensitivity parameters for something like that, then. Even if the e-kit sounds aren't what you're going to end up using, what you can do is track the MIDI output from the brain, then insert your drum VSTi of choice. NeilThanks for the link Bill.

After all - PARIS worked on Pentium 166s; some six-year-old cinderblock running a lean, stripped-out XP is probably going to seem like the Millennium Falcon to it, and be noticeably faster than an older Mac. That'd get you into the XP game dirt cheap, with at least the same level of functionality you have today and probably more, and with a minimum of disruption. Wonder if anyone's sitting on a solid old PARIS PC that's been gathering dust because it's a sub-$200 unit that's "not worth the effort of selling"? I was considering asking that very same thing on the "for sale" group. I don't know about strange noises - but one thing that I found was impossible to do on a Mac that I badly desired to was "upgrade the power supply". After all that painful experience taught the PARIS community about PARIS' absolute need for robust power supplies and cool running temperatures, a lot of crashes I used…

Apple uses Quanta for building the Mac Book Pros (same as we use). They use Intel and Foxconn for Mac Pros. Currently Foxconn I believe make the mobo for the Mac Pro. Intel might have helped them with the design but they could not have produced it cheap enough. Some of the newer higher end HP Quad Xeon systems are using a mobo custom built for them by Foxconn. Foxconn is one of if not the biggest customer OEM manufacturers. I believe Apple still has reasonably > good quality, however.

The laptops and IMACs should be lower in price. About the only custom about the laptops and the shells. The guts are already in normal PC laptops. The only thing that sends Mac Pros sky rocketing in price of a si
