    Computers: Dell Or Hp ????

    Dell has most of the market -- if problems were distributed evenly they would quite naturally be the most commonly seen in the shop. [If you live in the USA,] Next time you take your car in for repairs ask how often he works on Peugeot cars. By your logic they would be the most reliable...

    Computers: Dell Or Hp ????

    oops. Maybe things have changed. My Athlon is a 1.3 ghz. I should have also mentioned that my Dell Optiplex GX260 (a P4 at 3.06 ghz) runs very quietly -- below the background level in our office. I can only tell if it's running by looking at the LED. :) Looking inside the Dell, it's clearly...

    PLEASE HELP...Mic for Strings

    I recorded string trio with a pair of MXL 603s mics. You can hear a brief sample on my website: www.2fiddles.com The musicians were happy with the recording, and the mics only cost about $200 for the pair. You might consider an inexpensive pair for the quartet and a really nice mic for the solo...
