Any down side to going with mk2 pads?

Could have gotten two new whole yak faces for $250 shipped I bet. *prepares for a lot of hits by star wars fans to head-case*

The Intel X-25M 120GB for $250 seems like a great deal. Its a premium SSD and the bigger the SSD is allowing for more free space tends to make it faster too with wear leveling. That and a pogoplug pro seems like a potent combo to me. If your using windows 7, you can get a cheaper OCZ 120GB SSD that will perform just as well as the intel though practically with its built-in wipe and SSD management functions. Intel is better for XP or standard linux.

Should I be worried that I might be desperately searching to find Stagg and Handy if I wait until the end of the month? I'm tempted by this thread.

I got fed up again without it and searched around for ideas. Last night there was a magical tube replacement done with some NOS 12AX7A after a looking over and some testing. I found a user guide online. Turns out that its a homemade Dynaco PAS-3 II with some mods done. I'm hoping it will sound better after the tubes burn in more, the 40 db gain is also a little over the top for this rig.

Good News Everyone! The preamp is working again!

Not being familiar with amarra or itunes, I guess files have to be in a certain directory for playback? Maybe a 32gb SD card or thumb drive would be less cludgy then portable external for storage while on the go? sent via Droid X

I use backup software like Norton Ghost to backup now and again. A big external drive hooked up to a NAS makes the most sense to me. I have a Rosewill dual bay external enclosure that can raid the two drive into big mode (one large drive) or mirror I believe. I have it mount the two drives separately without RAID currently to have the best compatibility, custom backups, and in case one were to fail. Connected via eSATA, no worries about loss of speed really then if they were internal drives. RAID 5 doesn't make sense anymore with 2TB disks from my reading on failure rates, so I just keep a drive as a remote backup since I only have used about 3TB of data total really these days, expanding storage as I need it. You may want to do RAID 1 for backup purposes in case a drive fails on the storage/backup and set your computers to regularly backup to it at some interval. DROBO is a pretty nice all in one solution, can be a bit pricey though for an eSATA version I bet. Sorry for the OT.

I would use a SSD only as a boot/most used programs drive or in case you have a strong need for something rugged with no moving parts. I love my SSD boot drive in my desktop ($120 for 60GB vertex agility in April), screaming fast on boot and opening programs. Practically instant loading of software. If I used a laptop as my main tech now, I would probably settle on a 60-120GB SSD and have a 640GB portable drive for storage OTG and dual bay external drive with 2x 2TB drives for storage and backup at home. SSD are the biggest upgrade in speed the average user will be able to get for the price by a good amount. Many laptops are dual bay these days as well. With the price of 2TB drives these days, its possible to spend around $200 after rebate for a decent 60GB SSD and 2TB of external storage. Not bad compared to the $100 increments Apple usually charges to add 16 or 32GB of solid state storage to many of their popular products. I thought most Mac users have been led to believe cloud storage is the future for portability anyway (I would agree).

Happy Birthday Alex! I wish you the best of luck in your upcoming battle against Brent.

K then. Just finished the series. Also sad to see the series canceled. Too many loose ends, but I can guess at least from here. sent via Droid X

I pissed in your radiator. There. Whew that's a load off of my conscience.

Anyone else notice that each episode was written and directed by a different person? Odd?

Eight track? Analog? Is that like something that plays like 7.1 channel music? I think my blu-ray player might. sent via Droid X

Careful, karth may be listening.

Glad you didn't kill yourself Craig.

They did say that the current likely drove his heart into fibrillation and that there was no one around to help as he was incapacitated possibly by the still connected meter. 10-100ma could do that correct?

I likes teh gypsy punk. Someone is very lucky, I found a first pressing music cd using data dragged over the windows directory burned to a colored CD-R. Its labeled "Glitch pop for piratez" and comes signed with its own personal md5 checksum just so you know its personalized.

I've been fine.

I just started watching it today it was pretty good. sent via Droid X

I've been smoking Padron 3000s lately. I like, need to make a new humidor now.

I think I'll get this, for sure if it supports .srt and/or .ass subtitles in the mkv formats. That upconverting and touching up of streaming video is damn cool.

Happy birthday Dinny! sent via Droid X
