(Oh, and one more bit of praise for the MS set--I bought it in September, and I'm STILL running on the same set of AA batteries!)

What makes Logitech better?

585472083[/snapback]

It's not that Microsoft is bad. They have nice innovative designs and #1 tech support.

But

Logitech products, although more expensive, have higher quality builds and have features not offered by microsoft. Their tech support is pretty damn good too.

A standard Intellimouse Explorer 4.0 retails for $28, while an mx510 goes for $48.

The mx510 is much more accurate and responds to acceleration better. It also has handy cruise control buttons (you may not like them, but I do!).

If you don't believe me, go to futureshop and try both. You will see then.

I love the external keyboard.  If there's one thing Microsoft does well, it's make keyboards and mice.  I was always a Logitech fan until I got this set, but this made me a believer!

It also helps that the keyboard has a "natural" shape to it.  I do a LOT of typing.

I bought my mx duo in the october of 2003, and im using the same batteries in the keyboard.

The mouse needs to be charged every 2 days, so I just put it in the cradle before i go to sleep.

The mx duo is outdated now, thus you can find it for cheap. I highly recommend it.

Well, I was looking at my old HP 466 MHz Celeron today, and realized I could sell it. Popped it open began taking off heatsink, removing things etc. Then I realized "Hey I wonder if could fit this mini atx in my old case." And yeah, it did surprisingly HP was not as proprietary as I originally took them as. So now my plan is, just get some cheap pc100 256, throw in it there. Along with a new heatsink for the celeron, and a new powersupply (powersupply will not fit at all in old Raidmax case), then put in my 2nd 40 gig HDD. Nothing big, just a downloading machine to sit next to my main rig. :D

Edit: Threw in my old GeForce 4 MX 420. :laugh:

SRS is a type of fake surround sound for dual speakers and headphones that is supposed to trick your ears/brain into thinking sound is coming from all/most directions. It works on headphones especially well.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.3 changelog: Fixes issues with MP4 files with more than 8 channels Fixes incorrect VBR detection for some CBR MP3 files Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
