Good advice!

In theory yes, but you know how it goes. The gremlins always seem to wake up when they have an audience. Ask Bill Gates about his various live *performances* which seem to crash more than they should.

Same here. I used a carefully built and selected franken-computer installed in a rack system (Windows XP). It ran like a champ.

If it ain't broke..........

OMG YES!!! I've set up systems for other musicians and invariably six months down the road I get "the call". My system is slow, unstable, crashes etc. Without exception it's generally due to tons of garbage software that the person has added to the system. Fortunately I keep an image of the original load so it's a quick fix but some people just don't get it. Oddly enough I have one friend who plays keys and just leaves the thing alone because it works for him. He is a stock broker by day and the SEC has very stiff rules about software installed on traders pc's so he needs 5 levels of management approval to install anything not company approved. They've trained him well! -- Dana Larsen (Leave one 6 and remove everything after to reply)
