:} I'm not sure you need to go that far. I do have a copy of Windows on disk because I do need to run several win programs as well as use my win canopus stuff. {Infrequently seeing as I've made a pretty concerted effort over the past months to move stuff to the Main Audio codec. I still have backups in the codec though.} Converting this all to something that will work with linux software will be another huge mess. {I should probably move everything to tape but that means recapturing and recutting and re-organizing 1000s of files.} {I'm not looking forward to setting this mess up on another board. Or to the problems I know are coming with 64 bit hardware.} I've not even begun the process of moving audio stuff over. I think it's probably easier just to start over and use the old rendered audio files. I'm still trying to figure out what software is going to take over what functions. I've done a disappointingly small amount of work over the past few months seeing as I've had to pay so much attention to security and setting up a stable system. I really love using linux. I sort of wonder what sort of reason the average windows or mac user has to make the switch. Especially given that many users have *many* thousands of dollars invested in windows/mac software. {I know I do.} On 08-Jul-2004 Polashek, Matthew wrote: } It's the reason I keep a Mac around the house.
