that is true, i am rather scared of doing anything
when protools is running, though with the new p4
laptop i have ample power. i can quite cheerfully
close the screen when running (you change the settings
in windows so that does not affect anything but the
display). i dont have to adjust playback buffer
settings (usually when i get the warning asking me to
do so, i know my hard disc needs cleaning up). one
reason i chose an ibm was because i can put in a
second hard drive internally. i could have used
firewire drive, but i did not want too many
intereconnected objects while recording.
