Just When I Thought

i could get back to doing some serious writing for the next record, another piece of technology seems to have bit the dust. my dual g5. i noticed a weird “hot computer smell” when i was tracking some guitars. i became concerned and before i could do anything about it, the computer shut itself off. i quickly unplugged everything. i let it alone over night then i tried to power it back on, no joy.

the next day (last night) i found the internal reset switch, pressed it, waited 30 minutes. nothing. so, this is probably not good. the power supply is probably completely hosed.

i may try to set up pro tools on to my macbook pro, but i’m not sure if i can because i only have a full install version of protools from bersion 6.9 and most likely will not work on an intel-based chip set (which my macbook pro is) and then i’d have to upgrade up to version 7.4 or 8.0. ugh. what a pain this is.
