As I have said before, I have converted to the iMac machine, and nTrack does not support the OSX platform, so I am attemting to find out which recording software I like. Audacity has problems with syncing more than one track, and will not import some file types, so a couple of strikes. Now, I am trying to record a short tune to show off the sound of my new Chuck Lee banjo on Garageband. I got the recording finally done, but I cannot find how to convert it to an MP3 for posting here. I can export to iTunes, and iTunes will allow me to burn a disc, but I don't want to waste a CD just for one tune. How do I export an mp3 file from either Garageband or iTunes? Without having to buy another software package of any type - the banjo has severely limited my discrectionary funds (actually, depleted them!). Brad

Thanks, Mike! I thought that I had done this before, but with no written docs, its difficult for me to get throught these things until I've done them 8 or 900 times. Now to go post the tune. Brad

Today (June 11) Apple announced their next generation OS. First reviews are mixed. I've used Macs at the office for twenty-five years and PCs at home even longer. (CPM machines before that.) The only difference I can see between the two of the them is the price. PCs are and have been about 60% the cost of a Mac. There is one more difference. Apple made it a business policy that their OSs would be foward-looking. They offer no support or rearward migration capabilitieis. It allows the software to be smaller and more compact. Some see this as an advantage. And in an absolute world it probably is. But it also means that older software apps will not work on new Mac OSs. They expect you to purchase new software to match each new generation of OS. People do. I don't. Microsoft, and I'm no fan of their monopoly, does do one service for it's customers. Windows is rearward migratable. It will accept software from older versions of Windows to a remarkable extent. It will even run DOS packages (at least as far as XP). I don't have Visa and see little advantage in it yet. Old apps may not work well. And be buggy. But that's a lot more that Apple machines will do with old apps. If you use software to earn a living, it's worth your while to use new or recent (legal) software. If not, you can continue to use old games, and what-ever for years after you up-grade your Windows OS. I posted this for people to factor in if they are considering changing.

Can't help with the specific question, but... There is a book out you might look for at your local library or branches. GarageBand : for Mac OS X / This link is my local branch. I have been trying to get a hold on it for weeks.

Dusty- I've seen it in the Apple store, but hesitate buying it right now. Maybe soon. I have pretty much given up on Garageband, though. It has so much stuff that it automatically sets up and is difficult to find the spots to change it, that I have reverted to Audacity. Phil- I haven't seen the Leopard announcement yet - Hopefully I can hang on to my current version for a few years. Although I am intrested in looking at the Bootcamp portion, if it will let me install W98 (everything I've seen so far says XP or above). Brad

Brad, Speaking from experience (somewhat dated experience) I know that IBM effectively killed the shared platform synthesis a decade or more ago. THat was supposed to be a card that either system would accept that would allow the rival OS to run. Apple made theirs but the made it so that all Win Apps ran slow. This intentional to use a term, saboutage, made IBM shall qwe say piss-off mightely and they never released their end of the program. No Apple user was happy with the performace of Win apps. How could they be. IBM retaliated by lowering the pirce of their systems and shared another 3% of market share away from Apple. Please be careful before you purchase anything. Make sure you can return whatever you're considering if it doesn't live up to the hype.

Phil- The Bootcamp feature is supposed to be incorporated as part and parcel of Leopard. Since the new iMacs run on Intel processors, this is an installation that allows a Mac user to run two OS's on the same machine. Sort of like running Linux on a MS machine, but you can selectively boot into one or the other without all the boot disc swapping on the PC. I did try a free trial of a different program soon after I got the iMac. It was buggy and didn't run the programs I wanted (unsupported - they weren't MS programs) properly. Don't worry, I don't rush into computer-related purchases rashly - anymore. When I was really "into" computers in the 70's & 80's, it was a different story. But, then, you could dig into the programming (even the OS - CP/M came with the source code!) and make things work, or write your own program if you couldn't find what you needed. Brad

CP/M! It wasn't that long ago (to me) that I got rid of my last Kaypro. For a short time I had partitioned my first two hard drives with one partition being DOS, the other CM/P. They lived next to each other with no problems at all. I could switch between them. Or don't remembr if I could. After a while I realized that there was no reason other than nostalgia to maintain the CP/M area.

My CP/M system never got off of my 2 8" DS/DD floppies (2.4 MB memory max). I finally recycled the system when I retired and didn't want to move an extra 4-500 lps of obsolete computer stuff (Compupro box with a Z80, 4-port I/O serial port, FD interface, and a homebrew system clock with watchdog timer, designed and engineered by myself and a buddy at work), a Heathkit H80 monitor and a 165 cps dot-matrix printer. Also an old Cat 300 baud modem and a 1200 baud AT&T modem. I also had an old 26" color display, TV style. I loved that stuff! When I started, my first system was an Altair 8800a and a cassette tape deck for memory.

Kaypros were my first. Almost bought a slightly older generation Osbourne, but financial anemia made me wait a year. Then it was a purchase for the office. The receptionist asked me as I carried that suit case-sizes portable (yeah, right) 30-plus pounds of 4.75 clock speed system into work, "What's that?" "The future," I answered. When I left that job, there were maybe eight Kaypros up and running. THey gave tham all to me. I donated five to a Kaypro users group sold one and tossed the others.
