H4N, Windows Party

So I made it to the finals for the windows party. Then because I completed the "finalist" steps immediately after receiving the confirmation email, I was apparently confirmed as a party host just by virtue of my promptness.
The theme of my Windows 7 release party is "Windows 7 for Audio Production: ready for prime time?" I will be running my RTM candidate version of win 7 with Sonar 7 and Cubase 4 audio applications.
check it out if you are interested. Feel free to bring some chips and dip.

In more annoying news I noticed just recently that ZOOM/Samson does not offer a Macintosh driver for the H4N portable audio recorder. So if I decided to upgrade to a Macbook I would have to boot to Windows in order to access the device? This is annoying as I had hoped to use Logic on a Macbook. Part of my long range plan for upgrading my audio production facility. So now if I want to rock Logic on a Macbook I will be buying a 3rd audio interface!

Windows party?

So I get this email last week asking if I would like to host a windows 7 party in early - mid october. i would get a windows 7 party host kit and a fresh off the presses copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.
Hells yeah! So I go and sign up and fill out all the weird forms. Its done through a third party site which is apparently just for organizing parties, called houseparty.com.
Ooh I hope they paid a marketing firm to come up with that name. Well I guess all the good ones are taken already?
