    Computers can have way more than that even, but I have 40GB which is ok if you don't load every articulation and instrument at once. Logic Pro has a very good feature that lets you open a big template but only loads the tracks in use or the ones that you select which saves a lot of ram and enables you to work with big libraries and templates without needing huge amounts of RAM.

     

    I am building my first new desktop since 2008. The mobo can accommodate 128 gigs (4x32). This computer will start with half that.

    A movie like Temple of Doom would have been better with slaved adults than with slaved kids I think. I was 14 when I saw it, and I didn't want to see a children's movie.

     

    The movie's Thuggee are made more evil by kidnapping only the children from the village instead of the adults. Granted the village adults all look like grandparents, who are useless doing hard labor. 

  3. For the last eleven years, I have been storing all my CD rips as both FLAC and mp3. I keep them in the same folder for convenience and so if I need to change one album, I can change the other. 

     

    This is a pain in the butt and a waste of space. Presently I listen to most music by streaming from Plex, so the default playback method is track 1 flac, track 1 mp3, track 2 flac, etc. Pain in the butt. 

     

    So now I am deleting all mp3 if I already have it in flac. I will only keep mp3 if a) that's how I, um, acquired it, or 2) I need to re-rip the CD.

    I do wonder if he's simply on some ancient plan and never even realized there are far better options available to him now

     

    My parents live a few thousand feet outside where cable and DSL are options. They use satellite internet, which has monthly data download caps, and dial-up upload speeds. 

     

    They do not game, but mom does want her Discovery+. 

     

    I got them on Elon Musk's waiting list.

    Folk tunes are difficult to credit. Like, who composed the "Dies Irae" anyway? They're just part of the international vernacular.

     

    "Dies irae" (Ecclesiastical Latin[ˈdi.es ˈi.re]; "the Day of Wrath") is a Latin sequence attributed to either Thomas of Celano of the Franciscans (1200–c.1265)[1] or to Latino Malabranca Orsini (d. 1294), lector at the Dominican studium at Santa Sabina, the forerunner of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Angelicum in Rome.[2] The sequence dates from at least the thirteenth century, though it is possible that it is much older, with some sources ascribing its origin to St. Gregory the Great (d. 604), Bernard of Clairvaux (1090–1153), or Bonaventure (1221–1274).[1]
