Hello,
I'm here. I haven't been active much. for the past six months ago my
computer was in and out of the repair shop and finally in mid-April the
power supply and system board both shorted. Now $900 later I am the proud
owner of a Hewlett-Packard a450n. It has a three gigahertz Pentium four
processor with 512 megabytes of RAM, a 160 gigabyte hard drive, a CD ROM
drive, a CDR/RW-DVDr/RW+, a 3.5 floppy drive, six USB ports, a firewire
port, a flash card port, and the usual other features. A high-performance
PC but the other should not have turned to a piece of junk after only 3.5
years. Fortunately, I had backups of everything, but restoring data,
transferring data from my old hard drive, and installing programs during the
past three weeks have not been my definition of a good time.
After configuring windows XP, installing MS Office, and loading my e-mail
backup, I installed winamp. I ignored the hysteric come ons for the
pre-installed RealOne player, windows Media Player, and Music Match Jukebox
on my computer. for listening to great timeless music, like Van Morison's
tupelo Honey which I am listening to now, there is nothing like winamp!!
for those not familiar with XP, the start menu lists in order the most
frequently access programs. it is no surprise that winamp is #1 on the
list. yesterday, I got around to enhancing winamp with the MP3Pro plugin.
I forgot how nice this add on was. I couldn't believe it but the best MP3
player got even better.
Oh yeah, I still use RealOne and windows media, but not by choice and only
for talk and spoken word programming. The BBC, the BBC world Service, the
CBC, WABC Radio, and Air America broadcast only with Real audio.
theStreet.com and EBookworm both are in windows media.
Kelly
