I have spent two months trying to get my system to work properly. I've read and followed instructions. I've optimized my OS. I've tried different FireWire cards. I've removed the sound card from the CPU. I've read. I've surfed. I've adjusted. I've agonized. And now I'm ready to kill myself. I won't do it, of course, but I feel like I want to.

I'm a guy who analyzes to the nth degree. I avoid frying pans. I don't jump where there might be fire. I consider. I plan. I theorize. I test. I simulate. Then I reconsider. Then retest. And now I'm ready to, well, you know.

I don't even want to win the lottery any more. I just want my system to work. I want to record. I want to play back. That's all. I don't want to kill myself. But I'm gettin' close.

AudioGaff,

Three months ago, I had no clue and no real experience in digital audio. But I was not dumb; just ignorant.
Now I have a clue, but still no real experience in digital audio. I'm only partially ignorant now.

The day I switched to MacIntosh, all my problems went away. That's a fact. Whether you like it or not, a Mac works even for users who don't have a clue. So now I spend all my time having fun, instead of trying to figure out why my machine doesn't work - which is great because I don't want to be a computer technician. I want to record music.

You've obviously got an axe to grind. Maybe you think you can't afford a Mac. I've owned two Macs and two PCs, and I can tell you from real experience that in the end, Macs cost less. Maybe you're just afraid to try one. Some people have an irrational fear of Macs. I don't know what your problem is, but do yourself a favor and get over it.

sibleypeck,

Glad you like your Mac. It is made for the cluless and the novice like you. I have no axe to grind. I own PC's and Mac's. Have owned and used both since they were first sold many years ago. I use both. They are merely tools to me. I also have vast experience with audio, computers, programming and networking so I can handle either one with grace. Perhaps you should bow out now, sit back and learn. I won't be baited into the Mac vs PC debate crap that only draws out the uneducated and misinformed. But only a true idiot would believe that just because you own and use a Mac that you don't or won't ever have computer problems. That is just plain stupid talk.
