The Great Turtlenecked Father in Cupertino has determined that Macs won't support FireWire any more. My last purchase was determined in large part by the availability of the FireWire connection. Not all have them any more. [email protected]#S^$% All my machines have only one FireWire port and multiple USB. FireWir...

When we get further on with this, I'm going to kill the dining room table idea. They're very difficult to use without oddball sound effects because of wooden reflections and other noises. Plus, it kills multiple people using one microphone closely. Yes, you can do that with a mixing desk and multipl...
