Chocolate and Trek, M-Audio disappointment

I recently received word that one of my novel manuscripts has gotten the ok from an associate editor, and has been passed up the chain. It's not an acceptance but it's a wee step closer, so I'm excited. Please do cross your fingers for me!

Will Write For Chocolate has been updated. My column spotlights Shannon Hale's Web Site; Shannon is the author of one of my favourite books for young people, "The Goose Girl."

He's Dead, Jim! has also been updated with my "Charlie X" report and a cartoon so Trek-nerdy that only those very familiar with the original series will likely understand it:



I finally got a reply from M-Audio about Intel drivers for my Duo. Unfortunately it's not very hopeful:

"Hi Debbie, I do not think that we will come out with MAC intel drivers for the Duo any time soon. We are still trying to get the rest of our line updated on this new MAC and it will take time just for that."

Grrr. :-(

I've decided to sell my Duo USB Mic Preamp (it works with NON-Intel machines...anyone interested?) and get one that works for me. I'm very disappointed with M-Audio, especially since they have been trumpeting the news that they are supporting Apple's Intel-based Macs on their site. The truth is that they're releasing drivers for some but not all of their products.

Looks like I'll have to miss the first session at the Tranzac tonight, ah well. It will give me more time to practise my tunes!
