Hehe, no worries, Garrett. Sadie is a nice workstation. A few years ago having a host based system was the only viable option for a serious mastering facility, but now things have changed...
For example, Samp only crashed one time (which was sorta my fault) in the 19 months I used it and Sequoia has never crashed. Also, I actually prefer the fact that if a piece of hardware goes down, I don't have to rely on someone else to support it - I can jet down to Best Buy or CompUSA and replace virtually anything in my entire rig. In fact I could simply go out and buy a new computer (of almost any kind), install the soundcard and Sequoia (and the dongle), and be working again in an hour if every single componant in the computer died.
Of course I'm also the guy that keeps three extra Plex Premiums lying around "just in case".
Different stroked, I s'pose...
