[Tip] a little ext. HD solution for the road i like to share

[3dot...]

^^^ no, i am bitten by windows everyday at work and therefor being the biggest windows hater you ever can imagine, could shoot people on the street carrying a PC, no joke. (yeah i know i am an agressive MF )

any PC i had in my hand sucked.

it's just we have dells at work, 7 laptops, 7 desktops and one HP and they are all crap.

10 of those maschines are audio / work only, the rest are office use. and we have daily headaches with them, but my boss is stupid.
i have to admit, though... that our problem is that still loads of companies only support windows, like motorola, sennheiser, BSS, digico... yamaha, if you need the PM1D editor (the rest those fuckers supply in OSX, Grrrr...)

you could use bootcamp, hey... only if those bastards would not still use dinosaur RS232 ports for some of there shit.

i am in contact with most of them, giving them all the time shit to supply us with OSX versions, (our comapny has a certain power / reputation, so people do listen) but i could so far only seriously convince DB, a german high class PA system, the new distro, system they bring (dveloped with RME!) out will be OSX. hey they need to meyers galilleo is OSX, and that is the one to beat, not rubbish soundweb, which still requires a RS232 port Midas new digi consoles for example are based on OSX and yes they are the best, not just because it's midas (preamps!!!) but because of being based on OSX and because they developed there own AES50 (AC/DC Worldtour anyone?), the digico is based on windows and the SD7 is a pile of shite, great console, if not the standard windows error messages would come through the system every now and then... WTF? another reason i am a windows hater. those consoles are in the 80.000 to 180.000 euro range depending on specs. and there failure is based on windows!

sorry to go so far... but i do have my reasons, same with the HD mounted on my lappy back, it's work, whatever works to make my life easy and get the job done and SAVE time and headaches is welcome...

hey man... chillllllll.....and take a step back...happy PC user here...

great tip btw... I'd position the HD lower though... 'cuz of what ap_ said...
I use big external Hd's so it's no good for me... (heat/weight wise...)
but it's a great idea for small hds...

If only you had cut the velcro into the shape of an ableton logo like the sticker on HD or bellow your keys, everyone would have wanted one.
