I remember buying a SACD player. What a flop. Not that it lost out to DVD-Audio, which also flopped. The winner? MP3.

A Fender BMX with two cabinets (2 10s and 1 15 inch with horn) for larger venues...a Fender 30 with 10 in for rehearsals and a Peavey with 10 inch in bedroom for practice. Working on harmonic methods I picked up from Talking Bass and Vic Wooten websites. We played a show last year where all the amps were original 1960s Fenders!!!!!All tube amps.. I played my Yamaha through a Dual Showman ...keyboard and guitarist played through Twin Reverbs....my favorite amp was a Standell 100 watt with a Fender Bassman cabinet. My best rig technically was in late 70s...Furman Sound preamp with a parametric equalizer fed into a crossover..fed high and mids to 250 watt QSC amp powering a cabinet with 4 10 inch Kustom speakers and 500 watt QSC amp feeding an Acoustic cabinet with JBL dual 15s...my Rickenbacker 4001 was rewired from traditional rotosound to split stereo... My treble signal fed into a Mutron BiPhase. We played Yes Rush star castle Renaissance for a while. Then funk and disco {fun for bassist s) ....sold it all when I got married.

We replaced my mums TWC with fixed cellular and an ATT landline. Better all around. When I was at district with had hybrid system. The pots one had almost zero issues. The main office went to Cisco and after a few months went back to pots. At time we had 45 x 45 symmetrical link...now they have 1Gbps link.... At district our boss ran a flat network which probably contributed to much of this....not sure what they have now...

Firmware updates are a PITA because of the random changes, like taking out DHCP relay from the GUI requiring CLI. Their sizing calculator is pretty spot on. They do a decent trade in for competitor replacement, just send a serial and certificate of destruction. It does suck if you dont do the maintenance contract you lose some of the UTM like webfiltering They have some 3com partnership, or they bought hem, something to that effect. Their switches are a bit big for the britches, I wasnt impressed. It can get pricey though On Wed, Nov 18, 2015 at 4:41 PM, Paul Stewart <p...@paulstewart.org> wrote: Interesting ….
