Good to hear it worked. ;) I'd say try and do 32 channels
simultaneously on it though. My friend who owns a recording studio
downtown uses Mac now because with his G4 he can do 32 channels of
digital audio simultaneously. He tried to with his PC, but he said it
couldn't handle it even with ultra SCSI and oodles of memory.
