Technical difficulties

August 14, 2011

OK, so I bought this really expensive PC because the salesman assured me that his company only used the best quality components and it came with a great warranty. Most expensive upgrade EVER and the ONLY one that has ever given me problems ...

Never again ... I'm going Mac as soon as I can afford it ...

Unfortunately I was forced to use it because my old PC (got about 7 years out of it) eventually had BIOS failure and died. I can live with that but the timing was crap because the laptop on which I have written a book chapter also died at the same time ...

Technology hates me ...

However, I think I have found a repair guy, who lives about 2 blocks from me, who has fixed the problem. Turns out to have been a faulty power supply. We hope. So far, so good and I'm back online.

Right now I'm recording a song my daughter wrote on Pro Tools 9 with a MOTU Ultralite. It's been interesting ... I'll post an update ASAP ... it's for a presentation she has to give her class ... dancing and singing and all ...

Hello Hughie:

My name is Hugh Hilton Brown and I just thought to google that name. Amazingly, their are not a lot of us in the world. Glad to see you're thinking of a MAC. Once you go Mac you'll never go back. Best of Luck.

Hey, Hugh. Glad to meet you.

Yes, we are a rare breed and it's nice to know I'm not alone. I haven't gone Mac yet but I will as soon as I can afford it.

Stay in touch!

Cheers,
Hughie
