Yeah no, I'm completely all in. If the computer fails, the whole show is over, but I'm not much worried about it. Had a couple embarrassing WTFs back when I was actually using a laptop, but now like I said I have a 3.9G quad core desktop machine in a rack. It runs XP which is Microsoft's best, most reliable build ever. I've been pounding it for a couple years now. Had it in hot humid basements. Taken it from sitting in a car below freezing all day into a club just an hour before the gig. Only problems I've ever had came from being too drunk to plug the snake in the right holes. I'm more confident in this rig than the collection of hardware sims and line mixer that I was using before. It just works.
We'll find out Saturday whether I just jinxed the whole thing.
