Talking Heads -- The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads
-
I've had the luxury of making my own Mac computing arrangements for both work and play over the last decade or more -- so I haven't really used a version of Windows since 95. Anyway, I'm about to buy a new laptop for my mom and was wondering what I should do about the OS -- is Vista really bad enough that I need to go get a copy of XP instead? She's in her 70s and uses the PC pretty much exclusively for email, Flickr and Skype video chats with the grandkids. Simplicity and stability are key -- as she's also 8,000 miles away and tech support is me. And no, she doesn't want a Macbook.

Nice! Looks like they got your rocks off. Aha ha.

Sorry, it's USB-only I think.

They've got my number. And it is #119.

Prefab Sprout -- Steve McQueen Paint the town! Paint the town!

Just the bog standard remasters.

Lloyd Cole -- Antidepressant This is a damn good album about getting older, and coming to terms with it. Fuck me, I'm almost forty.

Good chunk of the Roxy Music back catalogue.

Metallica -- Master Of Puppets This isn't all that bad. Some of you guys should give it a listen someday.

How does a beta22 compare to tubes?
Hopstretch replied to veloaudio's topic in Headphone Amplification
Quite a few Singlepower owners, apparently. But only to Mikhail. -
Maybe. I kinda like having buttons to push or switches to flick, just to make myself feel a part of the process.

It's definitely on the plain side, innit? Some further details here, will be interesting to see that white paper.

I wonder if the board software would allow that gif as a custom title?

Compared to what? Dealing with Singlepower? Pffft! -
. Or I could take three seconds to Google it.

The release notes for the latest Quicktime update said it "improves AAC encoding". Which is nice, I guess. Agree that 256kbps VBR sounds damn good as it is.

Everything But The Girl -- Walking Wounded
-
We've already done the "Jerker" joke, right?
-
Or smoke a bowl.

I never knew that. Thank you. I had my usual #2 clip today and was just reflecting that I'm almost getting too bald for that. The long march to full slaphead continues.
