Whoever I am did enjoy that! ?

*Looks at Dave's post...* ? *Thinks "Good! It's not just me!"* ? While walking in a park near my house, I saw a guy breaking down a small band's gear and he wrapped up about a 20' cable in a continuous circle around his arm, then proceeded to loop an end around and tie it together - pulling it tight. I had to resist the urge to run up there and slap him! LOL.

DOS 3.1.1 (a.k.a., Windows for Workgroups) was the bomb though... ??

I'm soooooo glad that wasn't the same kind of Donkey Show I saw as a teenager in Tijuana! ?

Is this the new Pro Tools that Bapu just got?

Bill, Bill, Bill... This is exactly why you need to spend it first! ?

As long as you're on a red-hair trail, I prefer Shana Halligan from Bitter:Sweet. All the looks, but MAN can she sing!

The afternoon?

Not hard to figure out what the "New Car" smell would be for that prototype...

My animation is better because you can actually smell the becan cooking.

And I tend to like half of the opposite of the opposite. ? (Mogami - don't have any Canare)

Just like any other good plague throughout history. ?

Well, you certainly wouldn't want to be around one who didn't like becan!

Turn-about is fair play!

Oh I'm definitely not under-employed! It's just that start-ups usually don't make a lot of money right away (unless you're getting political kick-backs - yeah, I went there! - note that my issue with this happened in 2012, so I'm almost over it ?).

I know I mentioned this before, but I only ended up with a LOT of Monster cable (well over 100) thanks to a heads-up by a Guitar Center manager (who became manager mostly thanks to how much I bought from him! LOL). Some of you might know that Monster cable was the ONLY product in GC that they weren't allowed to discount (at least when I was putting together my studio). However, the manager called me right before their yearly Labor Day sale to let me know that they were going to blow out all remaining stock at 80% off only because Monster was changing the packaging! So I made sure I was pretty much first in line at the door, headed right into Pro Audio and bought all they had (well over $600 worth). After I had successfully escaped the store without being mugged by a couple of other guys who had also heard about the sale, I sorted them out at home and sold the ones I didn't want for a nice discount that still ended up making all the cables pretty much free. ? All of that said, my current preference are quality cords that have a braided, or flexible cover - not that hard plastic type (such as what Monster uses). I've found that I had FAR fewer cable issues since these tend to handle bending much better. YMMV! ?

Mesh's cable thread reminded me that, maybe, some of you haven't heard of this technique. It makes cable management much easier by removing knots. You can literally throw the cable out in front of you without having it tangle. Note that I don't recommend throwing audio cables out in front of you, but power cords are perfect for this! One of many nice YouTube videos on the technique. I can tell you from experience that you'll probably need to practice this for a while before it becomes second-nature. But it's worth the effort! ?

Heh, Bill's last post reminded me of this! ?

And today would have been BB's 94th birthday...
