Yamaha Bass Magicstomp
While I was in Birmingham last weekend for WordCampUK 2008, I checked out a few music shops. I found a new old stock Yamaha Bass Magicstomp which I tried out and bought for a pretty good price.
There were also versions for Guitar and Acoustic Instruments, but all of the magicstomp pedals have been discontinued for a few years.
Advent 4211 – MSI Wind Netbook
I recently bought an Asus EeePC 2G to use as my mobile laptop, The default OS, Xandros wasn’t very flexible and there was only 2Gb storage onboard, so I ran eeexbuntu from an 8gb SDHC card. Unfortunately I couldn’t get on with the 7″ screen and it was very limited with the non-expandable 512Kb memory. I decided to go for something a little bigger with a better screen resolution and better performance.
