Re: [IRCA] First Rockworks impression

[James Renfrew <jim.renfrew@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well my laptop battery emptied too quickly the first morning on the cliffs.
I had to ration my use of it to stretch it. I hadn't any problems the
previous week at a conference in Portland (which is what got me ot Oregon
in the first place).  I had an ac adapter for powering the laptop in the
car, but not having been tested we were reluctant to make use of it in case
it generated any interference.  Before the third and final morning  while I
was reviewing Perseus recordings in my room the laptop landed on the floor
and shattered the screen.  So I didn't record at all the third morning.
Chuck was recording but from his comments it sounds like the third morning
was the worst of the three.  Upon my return I was pleased to confirm that
my laptop data was intact, so I have two mornings of Oregon recordings that
I am going through.  I did get a new laptop, by the way.  Jim
