boy what a day... new mainboard arrived; now I have 1 P4 2.533 and 1 P4 3.06 yay! (had to "repair" win 2k though, argh)
Been to the pool too; allergic attack after swimming, yuck!!
My skin turned all red and started to seriously resemble the moon surface. A double dose of calcium finally brought me on track again, *phew*
ordered my update to LW8 today, not to miss on the LW plus DFX+ deal and of course because the Siggraph demonstrations were so cool.
I asked about the USB dongle too, but they couldn't tell me for sure. They said they *think* it works with the parallel dongle as well.
I ordered an USB dongle anyway, just to be sure

go me
For all you german LW users: get it at
www.cai-systeme.com they had some issues with shipping DFX+ in the past but that seems to be resolved; even NewTek europe didn't have enough copies to ship because a lot more people made use of the deal than they had thought... go NewTek
