e where you purchased it first. If they don't take
them or know who will, check the recycling links below.
More info here, including how to clean up if you accidentally smash one
(it doesn't cost $2500):

stable?
I haven't tweaked my notebook (AMD Turion 64, 1.6GB) on XP Pro... but I
am just trying to import some wav's from old projects... Sheesh... Cubase
crashes more than it is up and running. Just simple things like adding a
reverb on one vox track... sometimes it works, sometimes I get the error
to send... I hit don't send and it crashes. Anyone else experiencing these
kind of issues with Cubase? I am not sure I want to pay $400 for a program
that crashes so much. Any other recommendations?

If so, then could I just go ahead & make this a formal request
for a copy of every CD that everyone on the newsgroup has made?
:)Thanks Chris! I am gonna play with it once I get my firewire device hooked
up. I was curious if others were using it and how reliable. Sounds like
it is worth trying.

Cubase doesn't crash on my machine, and I didn't really do anything special
to it. I would check the steiny site for the latest updates, as I do know
that the 'out of the box' version I had did crash a bit.
