[microsound] Fall Down go boom

[Trevor Mcpherson <trevormcpherson@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ladies, gentlemen, and my fellow geeks - I have sad news to share.

My aged workhorse PC finally went to pieces. It was not an unexpected 
event, and many hours of  c:\  commands were executed in an attempt to 
save it.  Luckily my laptop lives on.

All hope is not lost. After a visit to the local PC shaman (squinty 
chain smoking fellow a couple blocks over), I intend to save the 
important, ditch the ephemera, and resurrect the beast as an open 
source learning project. This is where I hope to draw on the wealth of 
experience of list members.

I have seen many a reference to linux and open source in the posts 
here, and I'm hoping to scavenge enough resources to build me a 
microsoft-less pc. My lapto is primarily the music workstation, and the 
PC will function as office/graphic workstationI have, ummm...had some 
bookmarks for getting started with open source and linux. Any and all 
suggestions welcomed.

Off list, on list, carrier pigeon, smoke signals....I'll take what ever 
you have to offer.
