Hi Logic OT! personally, I'm sick of windows 98- it even crashes sometimes when using IE 4 or a office app. I tried the BeOS demo- and was very impressed- my PII350 went more like a PIII800! Please Please Please E-magic- give us LAB! and Yamaha give us SW1000XG BeOS drivers, and Gary Gregson please port XG edit to BeOS. What a combination that would be! As Logic 4.XXX seems to give a lot of trouble with SW1K- I for one will not be upgrading from Logic 3.6. The SW1K is a fine card- it's just that LAW4.xx does not like it, saad! If one of the other two big sequencer's is ported to BeOS- and the SW1K will work with it, I will be seriously tempted to jump ship.
