pretty much any high end audio solution (aside from PCI based stuff) is going to be firewire, rather than usb. in fact, i can't think of any (which doesn't mean ther aren't any) USB 2.0 recording interfaces, at least not from the major vendors of such things.
I'm curious as to which history this is -- pretty much every mac desktop shipped in, at the very least, the last 4 years has had a keyboard and mouse. which history are you using?
Nothing, at least for quite a while, will kill the Triton. Listen to any hip hop / RnB record - most of the sounds you hear outside of samples will be the stock sound from an Akai mpc2000xl or the Triton. With any luck, the Oasys will pick up a decent part of the market (i say this since i sell pro audio gear) but tritons are a long way from being booted - studios still come in looking for asr10's and the like, discontinued keyboards, simply becasue thats what they're comfortable using, and would often trawl dozens of stores and ebay before even considering an upgrade.
It makes early g3 proc macs (blue g3, clear hood pre-imac, imacs, some ibooks) usable machine without using OS 9 - i personally chose to run yellow dog on my 700 mhz ibook because OS X was painfully choppy.
my only real problem was with the wireless networking- and most of this was probably (i hope) the fact that i was relatively new to linux (i've since put os x back on the laptop, put in more ram, and sold it, but hey). everything else worked like a dream.
on my 700 mhz g3 ibook, i was looking into using icewm instead, simply because aqua sucks memory and proc cycles like a... well, it certainly pulls a golfball through a garden hose. instead, i started using yellowdog, with moderate success.
Umm... i use all 5 buttons with amazing regularity - i'm constantly using context menus with the right click, and navigating files and folders and well as my web browser using two others. the fifth is the scroll wheel, which i also use constantly, as both a scroll wheel and a middle mouse button.
Q: Yes, but will people continue to do that with Media Center?
Gates: You might well do it. We need to use approaches that block people from ever getting software onto the machine they don't want.
Me: Great. Now let me get a PC from a major OEM without windows - oh, not that software?
The LP is the only third party inthe country to have gotten on the ballots in all 50 states in recent memory (this year they only have 48 or so, i think). The requirements to get on a ballot (put in place by the republicans and democrats) shunt out many third parties. Arizona recognizes three parties on its ballot (democrat, republican, and Libertarian. If Arizona State, which is a state runorganization, only gives 2 out of 3 recognzied parties a chance to debate, theres a problem - they're in effect giving goods and services (in this case, they're spending 2 million dollars and providing a location to broadcast the debateinternationally) while the arizona consitution prevents gifts or donations of state funds to individuals, groups, or corporations - and because they're excluding the third recognized party, they're promoting 2 of the parties over the third. hence, problem. You, the satanists, the green part, nader, that dude of fark, and c'thulu are not on the arizona ballot.
You know, if Mario or PRincess Peach, or maybe even Sonic in a pinch, told me to vote, i'd consider it. But i have no emotional investment in Bloodrayne or the Sims.
States are one of the few organizations easily swayed by people voting with their feet -- if they lose the federal funds, they either need to cut services or raise taxes - both of which result in people leaving the state for metaphorically greener pastures. Look at the 'federal drinking age - every state towed the line - there was too much money at risk. A good number of hte states are already running incrasingly massive deficits -- do you honestly think they can afford to, either short or long term, to give up 'free money' that they paid in the first place?
Before i moved to doing audio on my dual g5, i was doing it on a dual 500 mhz g4 (and for quite a while i was doing it before the second processor did anything at all) using Mark of the Unicorn Digital Performer, which lets you record, edit, and do midi sequencing.
I haven't used logic heavily, but its commercial grade. garage band is great for noodling around, but i find it limiting for the sort of stuff i do.
Eliminating or severly limiting 527's is a further infringement on free speach -- they're pretty much the only non-directly (ie. non tentacle) of a party that can raise the sort of money needed for national exposure. Do you look at moveon.org and say 'damn those 527's, we should shut them up?" Is free speach that unimportant to you?
Hey - the article says 'jpeg virus blah blah blah', and the filename is 'possibleVirus'. If that doesn't help people out, thats really a personal problem.
Joe Leiberman: Senator Joseph Lieberman, a vocal critic of the recording industry, liked the metaphor. "I'm not for censoring this stuff, but to me this music is the equivalent of yelling `fire' in a crowded theater." -- indicating that he felt it should be regulated as 'dangerous speach' that could be regulated severly while not violating the First Ammendment.
Janet Reno: "I'm not condemning documentaries which teach us the lessons of war or sporting events that help society channel its competitive and aggressive impulses. Violence has always been a part of our life, our history, and our culture, and TV programming in a free society should not pretend that it's otherwise. But violence has become the salt & pepper of our TV diet." She threatened to bensor TV, but eventually backed down.
Al Gore, in... 99? was pushing the V chip in all TVs, as did Bill Clonton.

Gee, tell that to my DVD-RAM drive.

Are you at all involved in the music industry?

i'm using 5 mouse buttons on my mac - does that mean that mac is better?
So its like an imac, but ugly, garish, and runs windows? just what i needed.
i've found prayer to be far less helpful than, say, sacrificing a chicken.
I build all my x86 machines, but thanks for pontificating.

Apples mix of quicktime and itunes sadly isn't enough - VLC media player fills out and makes it a much more complete media suite.
How did this get modded insightful? He was attempting to serve them legal papers pertaining to the third presidential debate.

ever hear of a speedball? or even a jagerbomb, in the realm of booze and stimulants?
