But I don't want to build a hotrod. I paid big bucks for it and now I
want to drive it :-). No car is fun if you have to spend more time
fixing it than driving it (needless to say it's expensive)...
Kidding aside, I have no problem with "tweaking" of my computer, being a
part of this board is the certain proof of that (otherwise I would
choose to "think different," or should I say think like Steve J. or like
Billy G.?). The problem is that I am a composer as much as a computer
geek and programmer (and that I choose not to think like Steve or
Billy), and sometimes I feel like I am spending too much time on
"tinkering" with the computer, rather than using it for my own creative
purposes (which is why I bought it in the first place).
In another words, I feel like it gets more use out of me, than I out of
it. I guess it feels like a bad relationship out of which you simply can
not get out of... yet I am desperately looking for a break in the
pattern :-)...
But things have been getting better (and maybe it's the progress that
makes me feel so impatient)...
On the other hand, if the super machine already came finely tuned, maybe
I could spend more time making new apps and composing, rather than
figuring out why am I getting craploads (<--this being an official value
expression equal to "more than a shell-screen-worth" :-) of "unresolved
symbols" in my newly compiled Alsa driver ;-) j/k
