Per,
You are truly the mad scientist of looping. But this is my hardware  
rig, used only in grubby bars or daytime gigs outside. If I am going  
to bring a laptop, I am just going to use mobius. The laptop rig is  
still used, but in more upscale establishments where I don't have to  
worry about drunk repub..... er I mean fratboys knocking it over.
But thanks for the tip.

Chris
