  1. This. I always prefer physical CDs. As often as I have to deal with media crashes, having a physical copy ensures that I don't have to worry about when my last backup was made, how often my backup utilities run, or what a pain it'd be if I have to format my hard drive.

    Anyway, I just found out about this today. I'll be ordering at least one copy this afternoon if not more. This is awesome news. KF

    what HE said. Physical CDs rock. Especially the delightful, silverback, redbook-compliant kind. BTW, received mine today in the mail and am absolutely enjoying every minute of it. Great job katethegreat/Erutan!

  2. is it a free-flying scroll wheel? my logi revolution mx has a wheel that will scroll freely when i throw it in a direction rather than slowly scrolling. there should be some way to disable it and link the weight/brake back up to the wheel through the options if that's what it is.

    I think he alluded to the fact that it was the built-in trackpad that was giving him the odd scrolling issue. Seems like maybe it's having a similar effect to when you middle click in a webpage and the double arrow cursor shows up. Only, it's like his scroll gets stuck in normal operation. Does that sound about right?

  3. OK, so everything about the site is phenomenal. All the work that djp has put into the whole ordeal is amazing and continually impresses me. Streamlined, everything. I don't want to go on a sycophantic rant here - what I'm really looking for is something so simple it's probably right in front of my face, yet through all the forum searching I've done I have yet to find it. Is there any way to orient the forum threads in the top-down, left-to-right manner like any other forum? I find it slightly awkward to have to go to the "last" page and then read from the bottom to the top. Any way I can change a setting for my own account and have them display so the latest/newest post is on the bottom of the last page and the first post is on the top of the first? I've been a OCR fan for years but have only recently started engaging in forum discussions. Thanks in advance.

  4. I'd look for an update first. Synaptics drivers for 64-bit seem few and far between, and so do Alps. I guess they really don't invest a lot of time into the 64-bit laptop scene yet, despite the increasing prevalence of these units. I looked into my own settings, and I don't see anything that would signify a perpetually scrolling "feature". So, the first thing I'd try to obtain is a driver update from the official source, the Toshiba driver/support website, if indeed they do have one. Use Device Manager (Start-->Run-->devmgmt.msc) to compare driver versions before you download/install. You may already have their newest version.

  5. ok, so synaptics touchpad. Vista 64?

    The reason I ask is that I recently put Windows 7 on my Dell Latitude notebook and for the life of me could not find a driver compatible with the 64-bit version. Finally, via some randomly Googled forum post, I found a 64-bit driver for a different Dell laptop (which happened to use the same touchpad, apparently) and it's been working flawlessly ever since. So, does the Toshiba website for your laptop model offer updated drivers yet?

    (This all sounds rudimentary, but as you probably know we have to cover the basics first.)

  6. I was under the impression that FLAC was the most popular of the lossless codecs, other than AAC maybe. Most people seem to be pretty happy about me offering FLAC. I'll do whatever the majority wants though. What format do you suggest?

    FLAC is perfect, means I don't have to mess with iTunes or install any weird proprietary codecs. (monkey's audio, wavpack, etc.) Its lossless nature ensures easy conversion to any other lossless format one prefers. I would urge you to keep FLAC, regardless of whether you plan to introduce any other codecs in the future.

  7. Yeah, isn't he incredible? I really lucked out... Since he works for a big design firm, normally they would charge in the thousands for something like this. But as it turns out, he is a big fan of New Age/chillout music! So after listening to my stuff, he liked it so much that he offered to treat it as a personal project! And of course, he's getting signed copies of all my albums for the rest of his life. :>

    haha, it's good to have strings to pull! :-D

    Ahh Walking in the Air...I always think of Nightwish when I think of that song now (they covered it early in their career).

    Nice to see another album though - preordered!

    When I saw Walking In The Air was on this album, it made me instantly think of this.

  8. Ahhh, thanks for the warm reception! I'm glad you're liking the previews, and Wes: yeah, I've heard the nightwish cover of Walking In the Air. It's such a great song that I couldn't resist... :>

    By the way, who did the cover art this time? It looks phenomenal. You did the art for Origins, correct?
