  I must say, I believe there is some truth in this. I think on Windows you
kind of have to be a p.c. geek waiting for something to happen and it
eventually does. This is not my first Windows box. When I had my 1st one, I
learned how to tweak out my ass with Win 98. I learned a lot about building
a system. It was almost like I had to be deeper into the p.c. side than
making music. Well, I built a stable system with a Multiface and XP. Used
the same hardware and software for atleast (I'm sure it's well over) a year.
NO changes!! Now I have problems. A Windows re-install would be a real pain
in the ass!! I did enough of this shit on my old p.c. to be forever sick of
it. I just want to make music!! I want a machine to do it's job. I don't
install every demo on the planet (none infact). It's very frustrating. Maybe
this happens on most computers to some degree and I would probably be
happier behind a Neve console. Unfortunately I can't afford that leading me
to to computers.
