The Logic Off Topic list

I was naive and hope others heed your caution.  Being a long time PC 
user, I would dread and "put off" loading anything on my PC.  My 
experience with the Mac has been stellar and I presumed it would 
continue to be so.  I even bought my mother an iMac for the holiday 
because I was so tired of fixing her PC.  I didn't do any research 
prior to upgrading and if others are listening, you are correct 
about your advise.  Thanks.  The Tech people called me today and 
told me that they got Panther on my machine after removing my SCSI 
drive and installing an IDE drive.  At least it is not my memory or 
motherboard....hopefully they'll finish tomorrow and I can get back 
to making music on Sunday.

Thanks again...

Tony
