avi - mkv isn't as widely supported and I've never notice much of a difference although mkvs are supposed to be smaller.
no idea on the resolution thing - sounds a little like 4x HD but pretty sure that's not available yet.
True 120 or Xigmatek S1283 - overall - I know that a lapped true a few degrees better.
OK, OK. It was a little difficult.
nice set of axes in the second pic. What's in the middle - too short for a soprano sax or a standard clarinet. Looks like it has to be double reed - oboe? Kinda short.
Flute, piccolo and alto saxophone.Quote:

I still can't play anything with more than 3 sharps or flats without getting a headache.Quote:

It's awefully difficult getting used to a reed when you've played nothing but flute/piccolo. Thank goodness for common fingerings, that makes it a lot easier :cool:Quote:

Does everyone cross their fingers with me that I can bring my board back to life tomorrow?
