I'll stay with what I'm using now.

Is it only possible to buy the Very Latest Version (10.6) or can one buy V. 9, or 10, or other? Thanks very much.

No, it's DELL SFF:

BTW, I have WIFI turned off, instead I ran a CAT5 cable directly to the router. Likewise on my Gigabyte desktop DAW. It has no Wi-Fi on mutherboard. I love the ability to pop-the-cable in 1 second. If something happens on computer which is suspicious and/or which I don't understand - YANK...

This computer will be just a DAW, online only to download things for the DAW. That reminds me: how many milliseconds will I have at the end of the process before W10 tries to update something? My first project will be to make some modifications, such as updating, and no doubt other stuff...

Wow..... thanks for all the information. What about, say, a certain size for the OS, another partition of the DAW(s) [Ableton, Mixcraft, other,] and the biggest for the data I create. Eh?

I'm going to put Windows 10 on a 2TB SSD, and I read about initializing, which is foreign to me. A guy at the computer shop said that when the system asks if you want to initialize, you can ignore it. That's even more confusing. It sounds to me as if initializing is the same as, or similar...

That was a bargain. I have a Godin electric. Excellent wood.

On some forums, such a thing is forbidden to talk about. Oh others, it seems to be how things are done. Eh? The same might be asked of Recording-With-Headphones.

Is that sort of like a Mail Order Bride?

You may be able to restore it by giving the drive a SLAP!

I had not read this thread before and I think that it is excellent that it started off wth such a pun!!!

Thanks for all the info. This is going to take some visits to music shops.

That's what I need. My old steel string dreadnought is too much for my fingers, so something of those dimensions, but with gut or nylon strings, would be much easier on the fingers and fingertips. Anywhere from $250 to $1,000. I do a bit of fingerpicking. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hands down: America. (Having George Martin onboard did not hurt.)
