Wink HD Native / Omni...... a positive review

Hello all,

I was extremely reluctant to purchase my new native/omni package because of the nightmare stories about Harpertown mac issues and omni fan issues ect.

Here's my experience:

On a clean OS I -

1) I installed my native card in slot two
2) Racked the omni with a free space on either side.
3) Installed 10.2 and did a reset on the omni.
4) Launched pro tools... did a 30 sec firmware upgrade and a quick restart.
5) Installed my plug ins (did the current downloads the week before my HD got here)

PRESTO I was working. I worked all day (9 hours) error free. My mac 2.8 Harpertown did great... did guitar overdubs on 128 sample rate with about 25 active plug-ins on. No issues whatsoever. Not one error. The omni fan never kicked on, not once.

Anyway, just thought I'd do a positive review.
