You should not feel that way, but you should not feel stress for feeling that way when I don't want you to feel that way, because you should feel better, not worse, and feeling worse for feeling worse is bad.

I was thinking it was limited by RAM size and speed, like it would have been in the 1980s and 1990s, but hard drives are so fast now that multiple 24/192 channels are no problem.
The standard configuration of the Complete Composers Collection 2 Professional is available for $999 / €749 including the 2TB external hard drive. Please allow additional shipping time during promotions.
Look, the big computer, my next-door neighbor's Windows 98, has a bit more than a gigabyte, which is a faint-worthy amount of information. More than you can even use, except maybe for one huge game that takes up a gig.
There's no way you have the space of 2048 computers.
You're just like my brother and parents, always making up these lies, saying you can hold unbelievable amounts of information in your computers.

You must be surrounded by hella old computers.
Also, music and project files tend to take up a fair amount of space, particularly if they are uncompressed. I have a 4TB hard drive that is about one-eighth taken up by the bulk of my current music collection...

I admit I've never owned a 1 TB hard drive
I don't store a lot of music and I have next to no video so I'm not really doing much that takes up space
I have a couple of 2 TB drives in my file server, but I'm also not really using the file server for much (the whole thing was an impulse buy based on a vague idea of putting the family photos on it...which won't do much good because Mom wanted it to be Internet-accessible, apparently. Or something. I need to talk to her again).
Also, I still get TB and GB mixes up. When I first read this, I was like "What? I got my first 1 GB drive in 1996 at Virginia Tech..oh, wait, you said TB."
i dont own nearly as much music as the beau it seems
OK, now that I think of it, it's probably a lot less than that, but all the stuff that I have on that drive adds up to about 0.56 TB, and seeing how much music I've lost over the years, and how many project files of mine are in [bandmate/best friend]'s possession currently...
Well, My parents and brother claim stupid amounts of information and processing power for their computers (my sister claims the same for the tablet), which I disbelieve because gosh-dang it, any computer that takes a whole minute to boot up can't have all that much speed.
Also, any computer that automatically installs updates when you turn it off is doing something wrong.
And, any computer that takes three minutes to turn off, is just plain slow.

The booting up part is about processing a large amount of necessary information, but by the same token, most computers start up and shut down much faster than that.
Do you mean the Windows thing where you have to wait for it to actually turn on while it updates things for who knows how long? Yeah, that's annoying. Macs do not do that, generally speaking, or at least tell you what's happening when they do...

I've worked out the pattern enough that Windows updates don't bother me. Basically, with the exception of urgent security patches (which you wouldn't want to put off installing anyway), Microsoft only really releases loads of updates on the second Tuesday of each month. In fact, they even refer to it as "Patch Tuesday".
So every Patch Tuesday I go and let the computer do its thing and then it's business as usual. *shrug*
'Course, I'm also a part-time Linux user, so I probably have a higher tolerance for computer bullshit than the average person.
Which, incidentally, is another reason that I prefer using Macs. Also, the ability to type m-dashes and put accent marks on letters without using Unicode; infinitely less complicated program installation; and the buttons on the windows are prettier.

I've found that installing programs on Ubuntu is actually really, really easy...provided that whatever you want to install is something Ubuntu provides a package for.
Agreed about typing special characters, though. That seems to be one of those Windows design decisions that was made in 1993 and kept for 20 years because of "backwards compatibility", honestly.
Yeah, on a Mac it's all "Option+Shift+[Key]" and you got umlauts, but in Windows... this system is made of "LOL NOPE," isn't it? Installing things on a Mac is literally a matter of downloading the application and putting it in the Applications folder. Sometimes it's slightly more involved, but I have never seen an installation instruction list for the Mac port of a program run more than two-thirds of the length of the Windows instructions. Generally, it's three to five lines versus seven to eleven.
Installing things on a Mac has always been a nightmare for me, whereas installation on a PC always becomes a nightmare eventually but feels like it works well enough off the bat.

With Ubuntu, it's even simpler: you just open up a terminal and type "apt-get install whatever" and it will download and install whatever for you.
...Provided, of course, that Ubuntu offers a package for that particular program, or you've found a PPA for it.

How, in the former case? It's pretty straightforward, I think.

That's impossible. You don't have 194 good computers.
What does that mean?
Stop making up lies, Pangur. Nobody has that much computer.
What, are you buying a city?

Which is, honestly, stupid, but I am impatient and lazy.
i have reached the point where i am too lazy to turn off my computer
