Apple
[03:32] agd: it just feels so strange, i fucking bought a macbook to get rid of the windows os, and now i'm installing it
[03:32] agd: seems to be working now:D
[03:32] agd: i forgot to mount the virtual drive
[03:32] Johnny: lol
[03:32] Johnny: yeah that means everything i'm sure
[03:33] Johnny: and hey, don't hate yourself
[03:33] agd: i thought it was automatic
[03:33] Johnny: i'm from an apple family
[03:33] agd: i remember
[03:33] Johnny: i have to give my American Dad who is now in his late 50s every credit in the world
[03:34] Johnny: not only is he a guitar player and singer by hobby, but an avid PC user
[03:34] Johnny: before the IBM compatible took off as the market majority, what were we using? he had us on early apples
[03:34] Johnny: apple II
[03:34] Johnny: apple II plus
[03:35] Johnny: we used to go to computer clubs together
[03:35] Johnny: he is still strictly a MAC user now
[03:35] Johnny: never been into the IBM PC compatible like me
[03:35] Johnny: he follwed the mac line all the way out of the dark ages!
[03:36] agd: good old macs, i remember using the old Apple computers when i first time ran into sequencer software, that was really fun
simple, yet fun
[03:36] agd: old macs even had MIDI ports integrated
[03:36] agd: (at least some of them)
[03:37] Johnny: yeah, i dunno about the actual "macs" but i have extreme fondness for the early apples
[03:37] Johnny: i even programmed music on them
[03:37] Johnny: made the Simpsons theme song in pure code
[03:37] agd: and i remember when i bought my first MIDI keyboard and owned a pc, i was really dissapointed that i needed to get some special cables to connect them together via joystick port
[03:37] Johnny: and other shit like that
[03:38] Johnny: funny how i'm such a slow learner, but i've totally been there
[03:39] agd: yeah, that's what i was talking about, about feeling like a musician now
slowly learned all the shit
[03:39] Johnny: yessir
[03:39] Johnny: we paid dues that established "society" can never tell
[03:40] Johnny: this is why, more than anything, when the demoscene happened, i knew it was the greatest thing ever (for me)
[03:40] agd: yeah,
[03:40] agd: i still regret that i didn't get more involved with music before trackers came out...
[03:40] agd: like my parents didn't let me get a guitar or anything
[03:41] Johnny: and so many of the artists were inspired by the very same artists i was...
[03:41] Johnny: depeche mode, Vangelis, JM Jarre, etc
[03:41] Johnny: yeah i truly regret that big time
[03:41] Johnny: i went on my Mormon mission to Nebraska USA '95
[03:42] Johnny: you know what happened before that? i had an offer from some "multimedia" company to track some basic 'pop" songs because everything was new
[03:43] Johnny: and they checked out some of my silly tracks on AOL
[03:43] Johnny: it was SOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to get work then
[03:43] Johnny: but i had NOOOOOOOOOOO fucking idea
[03:43] agd:
[03:43] Johnny: i have 1 million reasons to hate religion now
[03:43] Johnny: lol
[03:44] Johnny: i could have established a history long ago
[03:44] agd: hmm... i'm thinking a brokeback mountain tribute song "cowboys suck dick"
[03:44] agd: damn i'm stupid
[03:45] Johnny: lol
[03:45] Johnny: don't even know the song thank god
[03:45] agd: haha... i'm writing it now
