Now, I'm going to go and prepare by watching me some Moody Blues!

Man, I wished you would have waited. That tipped me over the edge, so I ordered a Cherry one too!

I bought 3 digital tracks 10 years ago and the DRM messed up for some reason (don't remember why), so I stream recorded the other 2 to keep them as wavs. That ended it for me (so far).

Hmm, it's only 64 bit on Linux.

That looks like a real multi-tool. Very interesting!

To be fair I think that guy could play a car door with some piano wire welded on both ends and make it sound good. Guy has chops! He's pretty slick. I think his point was... "if you don't have a 335, why not get an Epiphone". I don't have either, but I've seen a lot of people brag about the Epiphones. I think this pushed me to grab one.

Wichita Linemen is still one of my favs. We'd all gather around the TV to hear "Hi, I'm Glen Campbell!" - in his high tone voice, then it was entertainment time!

This makes me want to check out the Epiphone 335 Pro.... only $420, but it doesn't look like my guitar center stocks them. Yep. My thoughts exactly! Soon!

I think the key is the phrase "on the road". I really can see why guys don't take their best guitars and amps on the road. In the studio? Now that's another story. And I agree that great players can make almost any guitar sound good enough, but there's a reason why they use their great/expensive guitars and amps in the studio as well. Definitely if you had both setting there, I'm sure you'd grab the 335 on the way out the door for the local gig. On his site, GinoMatteo.com, he uses the Gibson in the vids. He does BB King one better, I think. But the Epiphone can be turned into a fine instrument, really. Or any decently constructed guitar can be upgraded to the exact same quality and tone as the higher priced authentic one. If the neck joint is right and neck not twisted, etc - then tuners & bridge/saddles can be thrown on, and many times the PUPS are just as good. Maybe replace some of the electrics, maybe not for a while.

The first time I visited CAPI, it was plain to see that it was not API. It was a part's provider who had memorabilia as well as kits. So he took a pic of his console and blurred it. Is that a crime? He's a fan of his gear with a disclaimer that he's not affiliated with API.

But, did CAPI use API's knobs... API made a derivative of someone elses work and copyrighted it.

The lines are blurred on both sides of the issue and API has bumped up against the line, themselves. Friends of both parties have good points.
The CAPI Icon on the Website is an arrow... API's is a double Diode. The knob thing is far fetched on API's part. The Console is blurred on CAPI's site, and barely recognizable. I think most people deduce that it's API. CAPI's Web Address is classicapi, yet the Page header title is Classic Audio Products of Illinois. Address with the full name is not as memorable and not user friendly. API knew of CAPI's existence far removed from the complaint filing date.
What else...

AFAIK, it's legal to copy a design "verbatim" for personal use. Not at all! There was special legislation that created a "right" to copy commercially released music for personal use. It doesn't apply to any other form of intellectual property or even spoken word recordings. I'm racking my brain to remember where I ran into this, but it amounted to a Patented device could be mechanically copied once for personal use. As soon as I remember, I'll post it.

I haven't looked at the numbers in a while, but Linux used to be the #1 server. A bug like that still on the loose could wreak havoc.
As for Windows security, I'm like you, I use Thunderbird and a Firefox clone - Palemoon x64. That's a great browser. I've never used Skype and I don't if the vulnerability began after M$ acquired it, but it may be the most dangerous thing to run on Windows. I noticed some on a site reported having their PC accessed through it (total access). I hear it's impossible to remove without wiping the disk.

Both Apple and Linux fell prey to the Bash Hijacking a little over a year ago. The Cracker could gain complete control over the system and bypass the password prompt. I don't know what was done to resolve it.

This knob fiasco plus the letter Scumbum posted paints senor API as a loon of sorts.
