Haven't really tested the new PC yet, to see how much it will handle with Reason or Ableton, but it runs productions which were starting to break-up on the old PC without a single glitch.

Aaaannd! I finally get to use the nice new Philips mp3 player that I bought ages ago.
(Flash players don't work on 98 if you plug one in b4 you install the software).. I've been waiting for a fresh install b4 I could quit using my decrepid old, unreliable disk mp3 player. All because a m8 suggested I try his Flash mp3 player, to see if it worked, ages ago.
