yeah, for the most part what you get with a laptop is what you're stuck with. Notible exceptions are RAM & hard disk.

Dustin, when you pick up your laptop, be sure and purchase a Valence N-Charge battery. I have nothing but good things to say about mine!

And obviously I guess you also didn't realize that you would intentionally fuck a fellow kind taper in a trade for some equipment either now did you.  Thanks for the fucking you gave me Dustin, I really appreciate getting screwed. In the future anyone thinking of doing a trade with Dustin, I would advise you to not trade with this guy.  He had originally promised to send me his Mod SBM1 and the 7 pin to optical cable so that I could use it with my JB3.  While he did send the SBM1 only after he knew for sure that I had sent my package to him which was a Mod Edirol UA-5 and external battery power system to power it out in the field.  He had led me to believe that he had the cable in his posession and that he would be sending the cable alond with the SBM1.  I am still stuck with no 7 pin to optical cable, and without this cable I can't record jack shit.  Also to boot, in our original agreement he said that he would send me $100 dollars cash the cable, and the mod SBM1 and then he backed out on the $100 cash and I told him that it would be ok as long as he sent the cable since the cable is worth $90 dollars. Thanks Dustin for the great trade, I am very glad that it worked out for you.  I would warn you to seriously think about any trades that this loser wants to do with you.  This guy will screw you over in a minute.

Dustin is caymanreview.  Hypogluxa has posted this same msg half a dozen times, at least.  I've offered to help the two of them work this out - privately.  Hopefully it'll all be resolved to everyone's satisfaction in relatively short order.

Well, to lighten up the mood a bit, I will ask you all a question about laptop recording. I am considering selling my deck and buying a laptop. Seems too simple not to.

Could someone touch upon the various means of inputting audio(e.g. USB, etc...)?

Has anyone made the switch and not looked back, or perhaps regretted it terribly?

I like my DA-P1, but transfers to the hard drive are time consuming. mod UA-5 will be a reality for me, in the near future. Any one use this for laptop recoding?

Thanks for the advice!

peace,
