I bought a 4 gig flash drive yesterday for $14. I remember clearly spending $30 for 256 mb. Considering I haven't filled up my current 2 gig drive that I got for Christmas last year, this purchase was more in the nature of "New tech cheap! Must have!" Plus it'll store all my pictures, fic, music, etc. I wonder when CDs will become obsolete.

I think cd's will last longer than floppies. Only because of music. But I think the flash drive was the final nail in the floppy coffin.

Anyone here know Logic Express? I've been forced to RTFM, but it's 1055 pages!

I've used it, and chose to stick with ProTools for most of my work. What are you trying to do?

I was having a midi issue, but I figured it out.

But I have another question - is it possible to have an external USB device for audio input, but still use the built-in headphone jack as the audio out?

I believe you can set that up in the preferences.

I know it's almost Christmas, and I may be too late on this, but: my brother asked for Bose headphones for Christmas. I do not have it in my budget to buy those for him. But I know that there exist products of equal or greater quality for less money and with less marketing. Any suggestions, people who know more about such things?

I have owned a few noise canceling headphones and I actually found this pair of Audio Technica headphones to be better than the Bose Quiet Comfort.

They are also a third of the price.

Thanks, ND, I knew youse guys would know.

Does anyone have thoughts on why my mouse would suddenly go all wonky?

It is as if it is 'cutting out.' It freezes or disappears with no consistent stimulus that I can see.

Sometimes I can bring it back by hitting multiple keys on the keyboard or unplugging it from the usb port and plugging it back in.

I tried an old Mac mouse and it did the same thing.

Ultimately, I went to Logitech and downloaded their marble ball software but that does not seem to have fixed the problem.

If the mouse is wearing out, why would it work sometimes and not others?
