I never even knew this was covered. But apparently, it’s a worldwide recall on Powerbooks that have this problem. I’ve been putting up with/ignoring this issue for about two years as the screen got progressively worse. (To this day, slowly, more spots are appearing.)
I guess I’ll try to get it fixed now (free) either in China or in the States. I wonder if that means I’ll get a brand new screen. That would be pretty bad ass.

Okay so I re-installed Windows and my mistake last time is that I didn’t immediately install the “Mac Drivers Disk”. That takes care of the Wireless internet, trackpad, video card drivers, etc.
So everything worked right away. But damn the system font is terrible, and when you turn on “ClearType” it looks like you’re looking at a screen after you’ve worn your contacts for 17 hours straight.
But it is Windows, and it does work, so I’m happy.

Update:
- If you want Parallels for your new Intel machine, I have it. It’s a simple install, and you do not need two licenses of Windows XP to run Parallels and Boot Camp. Just call Microsoft and tell them your legit activation code, and they’ll give you a another code for whichever you need. Perfectly legal. So now I have Windows XP and Parallels activated.
- Flight Simulator is pretty sweet! I’ll have to limit the time so to not interfere with music.
- Download 30-day trial of Contribute 4 to see how it works.

Google releases Microsoft Word for free, online. You don’t need to wait in line like you did for Google Spreadsheets.

I used about 15 plug-ins on many different tracks. I never saw the error message of death. It feels odd operating this program the way it was intended. No system halts. No overloads. No buffer issues. It just works. And it bounces about 20x faster. My favorite upgrade?

The acoustics in the ‘green’ room are a bit reverbalicious, but I kinda like that. So that’s the practice room.
