Yah, when I was in school, paying my own way, I spent a lot of time with 1 cheap steak a week, hotdogs, ramen, spaghetti sauce, and mac n cheese made with cheap margarine instead of butter and milk. I went 3 months once where my weekly food budget was $10.
What I need is a kick ass mic preamp with a 5 pin subminiature binder connector for input, and a good 2496/2448 selectable output. The 5 pin is left, right, ground, +6.8v, +58v
It's worse for me. Every couple of days I get an email from Subterranean Press about new limited edition books. Now THAT's a problem. I'm out of space, and keep buying more signed limited editions.
