I must have had at least ten PC's but I never remember that. Each  
time I google up some "trim your audio PC walk-through". But with  
this last centrino lappy I just did not install stuff in the first  
place and I don't have any stability problems due to the background  
programs seen at the task bar. I have MacDrive installed so I can  
share Firewire drives with the Macs but it doesn't seem to interfere  
at all with Windows XP audio software.
