I was talking about digidesign's return policy btw... I've definitely done lots of research but if everyone had to have all of digidesigns prereqs and there werent any alternatives then there would be a lot less people flocking to pro tools. I just wana know the more significant shortcomings that will make my system not work at all with pro tools opposed to just working a little slower.
So if you could asses my laptops compatibility and any problems i will run into i would appreciate it. Hears my sandra report
