What to get?

I've been gone since 2007. I still have all my software for windows Xp. I don't have a computer, what should I get? I might be happy to still use all my old software and Xp. What is this place anyway, posts about being boring and no content? I've been in federal prison for the past 7 years I'm sure I could tell some stories, but not sure that they'd be about music. Anyway, everything is new to me, what did I miss??

Ognis!!  Hey, ol pal...welcome back.  As you might imagine 7 years is a lifetime in computer world.  Everything has gone Windows 7 (at least) and 64bit.  And it's...natch...waaaay better.  Hows it hangin?
 

Funny, I've had that avitar sitting here since 07 before I left. It was the year Memphis went to the national championship game, and Derrick rose blew it. That pic came out before, wait no, we were ranked number one in the nation at the time going into march madness. Who is bapu??

you'll wanna update to the most recent stuff.
 
then you can let it go for another 7 years.....

I'd be throwing away a lot if I did that, I have a whole bunch of stuff here, everything NI, waves, sound forge, sonar, ivory, the list goes on, I can't afford now to replace all that. It worked fine then, what is so much better about what's out now?

You can try to get Windows 7 but Windows 8 and 8.11 whatever it is has been out.
I still rather use  XP even if 32-bit, because they changed things around in Windows Vista and onwards.
No more volume changing in Windows, it is set by Windows OS, plus other Security features that have to be probably turned off, or else they are well, to me annoying.
 
Anything else might be found here:

or perhaps here if you eventually join:

and probably it is best to avoid some of those websites.
Music-wise sometimes it has been compression and loudness and loudness Wars.
I am not into that, so a lot can be read here also on this forum
I am using an older version of Sonar that works in XP or Windows 7, that is all I know.
Whether I upgrade or not depends on the factors inherent in what is going on in this Country.
?????
Otherwise the Coffee House here is like perhaps Garbage in Garbage Out.
but not all the time.
We have our own families.
 
Correction:
I have my own family.
 
 

I have xp pro on cd, and would install myself, and tweak it to death as so that everything I don't need is off in the bg. And I've never hooked a daw (do they still say daw?) up to the net.

I put my music up yesterday in the songs forum and it's already bumped to the next page wo comment, maybe I didn't know what I was doing and should just start from scratch 😝

I do remember you, your songs are still on page one.
 
Welcome back.

I was in Illinois and Oklahoma but yeah, back in memfrica now. I'm on a phone right now. It's strange. I'm still in 2007, but there is all this new stuff, and TVs are cheap, gas is expensive, and radio is dead. Odd.

I have pandora, I listen to it all the time for Spanish music, Banda, musica nortena, Cumbia... 😉

Ognis,
 
I remember you from the day.
 
It's the "day" I just can't recall.
 

Why not get a Mac?
