Dorian Scale lesson - plus some other things

[SuperSwede]

lol... I just HAD to comment on that. Being a apple user is almost like a religion

Yes, the same could be said for TI-64 users too!

I hear that there are still those who lament the passing the time-honored art of chiseling out letters on stone tablets as well!

At least it should be comforting that Apple has chosen to run their OS on top of *NIX, and that further development of the OS will be done on the Intel hardware platform. It would seem that if you Apple folks would just adopt Linux, you'd be all set!

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. As a computer user for a number of years, and a computer pro for at least the last twelve, I have to laugh whenever the subject of "my computer OS/application is better than your computer OS/application" comes up. I have seen many great and not-so-great hardware and software solutions come and go. Does anyone remember the KayPro? At about 30lbs, with a 2.5MHz Z80 microprocessor, and 64 KILObytes of RAM, it was the forerunner of the laptop. It was supposed to revolutionize the industry! I used to own one.

I miss Lotus 1-2-3 as a mainstream application.

BTW, before you Apple folks decide to have me drawn and quartered, I also used to own an Apple 2e, with dual floppy drives and a 9,600 baud modem!

Today I support MS Windows, not because it is any better, but rather because as long as there is a PC running a Windows operating system, there will be a need for people who can fix them! I consider it a form of job security. For fun, I play with Debian.

Hey R_A_. I had one of those TI-64s. It was a good game computer, which I still consider ahead of it time.

I have recently started to use etkTab, a free tab program. http://etktab.sourceforge.net/

I would have to throw in a picture of the tab for a few seconds in the video, either before an example or after I play. Before is better, right? I can of course make a link to a tab as PDF or just the text file itself as well.

Robert, I would say that you only need mention the availability of the tab at the outset of the video, and then reference example numbers as you go along.

Hey, I'm glad to see that there is an Open Source tabbing product out there. I'll have to check it out!

i agree...and it works on windows, unix and osx!

Sorry Tim but it can be done

Wow, turning to Microsoft to fix a Mac issue! That seriously rocks!!!



Thanks, SS.

[Tim]

Drum beat please as we wait in anticipation for the reply from Super Swede in regards to R_A’s remark about “turning to Microsoft to fix a Mac issue!” This is serious stuff here.

But it is good that we all will be able to read Robert’s tablature on future video lessons (just to keep on the subject matter).

[SuperSwede]

Rob, i dont mind doing that since microsoft always have turned to apple for their "fixes".. ok, enough computer wars
(my Atari ST 8mhz system is far better than both Mac & PC´s so there is no reason to argue any more lol )

[marnold***]

Of course, all of us really 1337 guys use Slackware Linux.

Who's arguing? BTW, for the record, when the deep brown stuff hits the fan (read Internet here), Microsoft has a fleet of Linux servers to deflect attacks on its network! They could probably do just as well using Apple servers, since no one on the planet writes malware for these!

I am glad that there is a tabbing app out there which works on ALL the major platforms (your Atari ST excluded unfortunately SS).

As stated previously, I am not "pro" anything, OS-wise, so please, don't make me out to be. I've seen far too many good (and bad) systems go by the wayside (including the original, stand-alone Mac) to get too cozy with any one system. I make money today thanks to Microsoft, and I like to play thanks to Linus. I'd probably play with Apple more too, if they'd bring the price down to a competitive level (around $300 for a new system).

And no marnold, the really 1337 guys use BSD and Solaris!!!

Me, I'm not one of those 1337 guys. I just make a living doing that stuff!

[r_a_smith3530]

Now, where were we? Oh yes, tabbing software!!!
