Now we've gone from DSL

Now we've gone from DSL to dial-up! How invigorating!

Anyway, during my spare midnight hours, I've put together a MIDI of the Battle Theme of Golden Sun. The suck-ass part, which I'm amazed I didn't mention before --

We got Windows XP recently. I know everyone loves Windows XP, yadda yadda yadda, but it's a real conflict for people who have been on the internet for, say, more than a year, since almost ALL of my hardware doesn't seem to work.

Stuff that doesn't work:

  • My CD-Burner (won't read previously written CD-R-datas)
  • My scanner (old drivers)
  • My video adapter (old drivers)
  • My Zip drive (can't find certain files)
  • My DVD program (had to buy a new one)
  • ZSNES (XP doesn't do DOS programs - my savegames are inaccessible)
  • Programs that rely on file locations (XP moved my Desktop folder across the hard drive)

    And even my freaking SOUND CARD. It's been replaced with this stupid Windows Sound Software, where I can't get 3-D sound like before, and my MIDI devices are gone, and replaced with stupid wavetable crap that makes my MIDIs sound terrible.

    XP WOULD be really good, only if we had bought a new computer that came with it instead. A very good thing to come of it, though, is that we had to buy extra memory to use XP well, so now with 256MB, memory ain't a problem anymore. And a bigger hard drive is on the way.
