ok, so it seems like i'm making good progress on the bust-it-and-reconstruct-it approach. and, i have a vague memory of doing this about a year ago. these vague memories. sometimes, it would be nice if life had a rewind feature so i could go back and see.

i'm on the brink of convincing myself this is stable and good. next step will be seeing what happens when i get the m-audio drivers in. i just need to let the ram clear and do a fresh start-up...
