Thanks Rick, but even better than their $49 download, it's included on the PS install CDs but it's not installed by default. A quick drag & drop fixes that!

Ooops...forgot about that. I don't use it since I generally try to stay away from website design which requires plugins and I prefer good old cameras loaded with b/w film for photography (which I rarely do anymore due to lack of a darkroom).

Isn't that why you should switch to digital...? You don't need a darkroom and you already have a computer...

To revive the Apple Geekness for a moment...
Did anyone notice that the supposed 'Asteroid' firewire audio box looks rather familiar now...

Funny how all these leaks get mixed together isn't it...
But since 'Asteroid' did not appear, how do you think they were getting the 4 separate audio sources into GarageBand for the John Mayer bit..? Something from M-Audio maybe since they have their keyboards in the Apple Store?

The room my computers are in just doesn't smell like stop bath.

Here's another take on it.......and it looks like it's right up your alley:

Gav there are a number of pro products that have always been available that allow multiple simultaneous audio inputs. We were just rooting for a cheap one. Since I have a quicksilver G4 at home, I have one of the few macs that has no audio input whatsoever. Amazingly I still haven't purchased something from griffen etc. Now I wish I just had a whole new machine...

That's easy... pour some of the stop chemicals into one of those Glade PlugIns and away you go..!

Blonde enters a store that sell curtains.

She tells the salesman, "I would like to buy a pair of pink curtains."
The salesman assured her that they had a large selection of pink curtains.
He showed her several patterns, but the blond seemed to be having a hard
time choosing.
Finally she selects a lovely pink floral print.
The salesman asked what size curtains she needed.
The blonde replies "fifteen inches."
" Fifteen inches???" asked the salesman.
"That sounds very small, what room are they for?"
The blond tells him that they aren't for a room, they are for her computer monitor.
The surprised salesman replies, "but, Miss, computers do not have curtains!"
The blond says,

"Hellllooooooooo........I've got Windows!"

I've gotta pay more attention to what I'm doing when I create jpgs for my webpage...

Salesman: You came to the right place, we have a large selection of curtains.

Then he asked me what size curtains I needed.

Cod: Fifteen inches.
Salesman: Fifteen inches?? That sounds very small, what room are they for?
Cod: They aren't for a room, they are for mycomputer monitor.
Salesman: But, Mr. Barnatt, computers do not have curtains!

So I looked at him and said "Hellllooooooooo........I've got Windows!"

And it's all true.....so help me.

Baker walked into a store that sell curtains. Here's what happened:

Baker: I would like to buy a pair of curtains......but then again, maybe not.
Salesman: You came to the right place, we have a large selection of curtains.

He showed Baker several patterns, but he was having a hard
time choosing. Finally he sort of selected a pair but he wasn't sure if he wanted them.


Then the salesman asked him what size curtains he needed.

Baker: Fifteen inches.....I think....but I'm not really sure.
Salesman: Fifteen inches?? That sounds very small, what room are they for?
Baker: I'm not sure. I was going to go in that room once but I bailed out.
Salesman: But, Mr. Baker, how do you know the room needs curtains if you've never been there before?

So Baker looked at him and said "Nevermind, I think I need a hot dog instead........well maybe or maybe not."

Due to my New years resolution of complete truthfulness, I find that I cannot state that the aforementioned did not happen.

Also, due to my New Years resolution of complete truthfulness, I feel that I must add that I find CCM a complete and utter bore.

Ahhh....that felt good.
