Re: OT: new macbook rant: spanish ballet



hi zoe,

looper at one single hour by car from the teatre principal...

by the way i don't have an adaptor from fw400 to fw800... just own a
macbook (not pro) and fw400 cards, audiofire2 and audiofire12 that you
can use.

also all my other equipment, if you deserve.

could try to find that adapter for you here as well.

don't hesitate to ask if i can be of any help.

raul.
