You're using the word "would" when "might" is more appropriate

Alarm clocks don't wake me up, but if I just go to sleep knowing I need to get up early, I almost always do.

I'm still happy iwth my ipad 1, I can't imagine what would bog down an ipad2

Bought this just on reading your post, I didn't even bother to read the NPR piece. Ugh. Me too. And $18+ for the cheap shipping.

The UPSes I've tried in the last few years all look to the OS as if it's a laptop battery, so they work just great. So I'd think anything current would work fine.

ok, now that's just weird

Dude, MPI is THE AUTHORITY.

You can't really pick and choose what gets powder coated. You just have to grind off the bits you don't want after the fact. It's just a feature of the finish.

It's irrelevant that at some point firewire was proprietary. By the time apogee and weiss (and many others) were using firewire on audio devices, it was the standard. Synchronous USB was a nightmare for audio, especially at higher sample rates, and with more channels.

except that firewire wasn't proprietary, and usb really wasn't ready for prime time at the time.
