haha. actually my 9600 is seriosuly irritating me with them 6045 errors. I am waiting for the new OSX pro tools to come out and the new compatibility list before i spluge on a new G4. i sooo want a new G4 but i have so much invested in this beige stuff....narrow scsi disk drives and cd burners, a studio 4 as well as other interfaces, kvm switches, scsi, firewire and usb cards, modems, and other stuff. I got a 9500 for sale too. yup, I get errors everytime i work. managing 6 scsi disk drives is hell too and forget about the noise.
