It'd be the ultimate for recording my band's jams (currently recorded with a 1998 Sony minidisc recorder and a stereo microphone).
Two overhead drum mics (left and right), one bass drum mic, main vocal mic, two backing vocal mics, gutiar, bass. Ten input would be even better because you could mic the tom and snare drums. TWELVE would be perfect so you could mic the toms. THIRTEEN for that third tom. FIFTEEN for a couple of room mics.
Ok. I'll live with 8. I think I've seen 6 in / 6 out USB, not sure USB can handle 8/8.
And why USB? So it'll run off a laptop.
Of course, I'd have to get a laptop too ;p
And the money...
You know, I'd happilly just live with a minidisc recorder that could let you download the music from it digitally at high speed. We have minidisc now that lets you record ONTO them at 64 speed (Sony NetMD), but nothing that lets you record OFF them at high speed (that is, to "rip" the minidisc). Bloody copyright. Something like that would save me hundreds of hours a year.
Your website should be developed using standard stylesheets and HTML/XML. 99.999% of web users don't care.
It's irrelevant if it works in Netscape/IE 4 or not. That's why there is a Netscape 7.1. Because Netscape 4 no longer does the job it is designed for! That is, displaying websites. People using older browsers should see broken webpages, hopefully forcing them to upgrade.
You'd hope this wouldn't keep happening. That is, new standards coming out every two years or so rendering your current browser useless.
I'd hope you'd never have to pay to upgrade a browser so that it could view the latest technology. You didn't buy a HTML browser or a stylesheet browser. You bought a WEB browser. If it stops browsing the web it stops doing what you paid for.
Not that anyone pays for browsers...
