Re: little boxes (was survey)



   Ah, forgot the OS question regarding would one install another OS to 
use 
a specific looper, and my answer would be a definite and resounding YES!!!

   Again, am coming from an access angle here, in that the newer Mac OS's 
have some more global integrated access features built in as opposed to 
Windows, which requires about an extra thousand dollars to add speech 
to...  ick!!!  So yes, would (and am planning to) switch to Mac in a 
heartbeat, especially if it meant an easier time with creative sw...

Smiles,

Cara  :)
