settling down

I'm trying to settle down on the equipment front. Last night I put the tube amp that's been making me mad into the garage. Instead I pulled out the PA, and set up my PC laptop with Band in a Box, along with the GuitarPort. This gives me a pretty darn complete practice setup that can get LOUD if I want to, but has a minimal number of parts to configure. This will let me work a lot more easily, and hopefully focus a lot less on the tech and equipment.
