Be careful though. I hope they get it right but if you don't want to be
a beta tester you might wait 6 months.

Hi,
Everyone will be a beta tester for the MAC/Intel change for quite awhile
to come in both the software and hardware world. The majority of the
software companies I see didn't even have most of their major bugs
worked out for the current hardware. I wish all the MAC guys the best of
luck on this. Windows folks will be going through a similar experience
when Vista becomes ready for prime time.

What other choice do they have? Motu has hedged their life on Apple. they
have to try and keep up as best as possible.

It's funny, a company that is sworn to not port over it's Digital Performer
over to the ewindows platform is actually doing just that..

I agree, people should wait to see how things go for a bit.

Kudos to MOTU. This is great support.

Mac developers have known about this transition for more than a year,
and have had systems available for developing and testing. We'll see how
well they each one does with the transition but MOTU's announcement is a
good sign.

Cheers,
-Jamie

HI Lamont,
RME has had driver for the Fireface 800 sense November. They haven't
made a big announcement for it because they know the reality of the
situation of what Intel has forced upon Apples customers especially with
the coming PCI-E only desktops.

Hi James,
Can;t wait to see the Kaos when the desktops start becoming more
available that are PCI-E only. No more UAD or TC for at least at least a
year. Same with audio cards. Some people have already announced that
they are going to release them but they are still gonna be a few months
away. Then the beta testing stage begins.... :)

The PC side of things has had to start dealing with this PCI-E stuff for
about a year but thankfully motherboard makers have decided to ease this
new tech into the systems slower so they can work out issues before
going full PCI-E. The spec it still far from settled and will still be
going through revisions. Remember how many revisions PCI went through?
Expect to have just as many.

Currently I'm laughing at all the people who are yelling at
manufacturers that are taking their time pushing out windows p4 pro
drivers and software. Vista is right around the corner and is a totally
different driver model and the software end of things have changed quite
a bit in it too. XP64 is a short term 64 bit solution sort of the poor
mans server 2003 64. It looks like it will turn out to be the next
Windows ME.
I'd rather have them work on getting everything ready for Vista personally.

Although some software companies wouldn't have anything to list as a new
feature if they didn't have a XP64 version of their app...doh

To all of you who want a laugh and run XP64. Go to \%system%\system32 and
right on hal.dll to open the properties window. Click the Version tab and
then select "Internal Name." M$oft didn't even bother renambing the hals
for the release, it just says server 2003 in there. Lazy bastards.

I discoverd this when swapping out hals on desktop hardware and the things
were blue screening more than an NT4 box with a broken Zip drive installed.
After a few hours I chanced on to the fact that I was copying over pre-installed
Server 2003 64 hals on 32 bit SP2 XP setups. THAT wasn't about to work.

They're still not porting to the Windows platform. I don't think you'll
be able to open XP and run Digital Performer. They're porting to run on
Intel hardware...big difference.

Hey LaMont, thanks for askin'!

Wow, I haven't posted here in awhile. I should probably let everyone
know that I had my first child, a baby boy named Cedric, on Nov. 11.
Everyone is fine. Tired, but fine. Kids are great! Now, if I could
just make my way back downstairs to my gear...


Stickin' with my "old" G5 for now,

Where did you hear that the new Macs would be PCI-E only?

Hi James, that's been posted by apple a month ago. That's why if you look
on the www.digidesign.com web site, you'll see companies like Magma are already
geard up for PCI-E..

I'm sure it will come together in 6 to 12 months. IMO the PawerMac G5 PCI-X
slot thing was a debacle, I think they lost sales when they made that jump.
Well I know Apple lost at least one sale, I cancelled my G5 order over it.
Hopefully the transition will take place quickly, and they have good implementation
of FireWire on the new machines.

For myself I have enough PCs and Macs to keep me busy for a good year. If
the price is right I would consider buying an Intel Mac mini, as an entertainment
computer.

Congrats! My daughter (age 14) is now taller than my wife, and my "baby"
boy is about to turn eleven! Time flies. Don't put anything off when it
comes to your kids, or you'll be singing "Cats in the Cradle"...

Thanks Doug,

Time IS flying...I can't believe how different he looks now at 9 weeks.
He doesn't look like the same baby that I brought home from the hospital.

Thanks! I wonder when he'll be able to help in the studio?:-)

If he became a musician/producer type, that would be great, but I'm not
gonna force it.

Try puppies, they change in about an hour. They were so small and now
55 lbs for the lab at 8 months. Still a baby brain though. hehe
Congrats too !!!

Michele,

> Time IS flying...I can't believe how different he looks now at 9 weeks.

Yeah... Crazy, huh? Pretty soon he'll be walking, and you'll start putting
the fragile stuff up higher and higher... ;-) I used to have a clay beer
stein that I got from Germany. It was my favorite tea cup. One day, I had
it brewing on the counter - it was about a foot back from the edge mind
you - but somehow my son managed to get up on tip-toes and hook his finger
around the handle and pull... Wow, let me tell you, I'm glad it had been
sitting there a while and wasn't still boiling! Poor kid, he got hit with a
half litre of hot water, the cup crashed into pieces at his feet, and his
parents came running in a panic... Of course, I'm sitting there saying to
myself, "my son!...my cup!...my son...!" alternately upset that he broke my
favorite cup, but freaked out that he might have gotten burned. Luckily
there was no physical damage to Alex, but the cup was done for. At the same
time, I think it was a good lesson learned - he never just pulled anything
off the counter again - so it was worth the price of the cup...

> He doesn't look like the same baby that I brought home from the hospital.

Is he sleeping through the night? Lost all the hair on the back of his head
yet? It'll probably grow back before he's one...

:-)

Thanks for the warning...I can see little Cedric asking for a puppy when
he gets older. Too bad his parents are allergic. I think a pet would
be nice.
