			Logic Pro. The Enviroment - it's not too bad! Go to the enviroment - Command and 8. From the left drop down select Click & Ports view. You can remove the Input Notes and Input View objects if you want - or just delete the cable's if you feel safer that way! From the new menu on the left add the Arpeggiator object. Cable up from the SUM output of the Physical Input object to the object by dragging the little triangle at the very top of the Physical Input object to the Arpeggio. Cable up from the Arpeggio to the Sequencer Input. Now when you record a midi track from a keyboard or even the caps lock keyboad your it will be arpeggiated! If you wish to add a switch in the environment go to: New - Fader - Specials - Cable Switcher. This pro-tip will be more fully explored in Issue 2 of the British Mac Magazine. Wonderful!

			Hi Will, Just watched a very interesting video from jupiter broadcasting... Do a search on you tube. They are evaluating the MSI wind netbook. They say it is default kernal compatible with OSX, meaning that you should even be able to apply official apple updates to it, even the webcam works as an isight! The only downer is that wifi doesn't work, but since it is a card that can easily be replaced with a compatible broadcom one. The MSI wind might be the closest thing you could get to a Mac netbook, will still probably need a hacked OSX disc tho. -- Darren Davies

			Mike Harding

			Harding was born in Crumpsall, a suburb of Manchester. His father, who came from Devon, was an RAF pilot who was killed during World War II. Mike is of Irish descent on his mother's side[1]. He is known as "The Rochdale Cowboy" after one of his hit records. He has been a broadcaster, stand-up comic, photographer, traveller, filmmaker, playwright, poet, author and musician. He was educated at St Anne's, Crumpsall, and St Bede's, Manchester. After a varied career as a road digger, dustbin man, school teacher, steel erector, bus conductor, boiler scaler and chemical factory worker, he took a degree in English and Education at the University of Manchester. Following this he became a folk singer and stand-up comic, in which guise he made several series for the BBC and appeared on numerous TV and radio programmes, including two series of travel films in Ireland and the Appalachian mountains of America. He also played Rock and Roll with his band, The Stylos, with the Lowe Brothers. He has had many albums and singles released. Singles include "The Rochdale Cowboy" and the "Man 'nited Song". As well as comedy, he has released albums of serious songs, most notably Bombers Moon. The title track tells of his father's death. The album also contains "The Accrington Pals" and cover versions of Bruce Springsteen's "Factory" and Eric Bogle's "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda". Harding composed the music scores for DangerMouse, Count Duckula (he also sang the main and end titles with Doreen Edwards), The Reluctant Dragon and The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship for Cosgrove Hall. As well as being an acclaimed musician and comedian, he wrote The Armchair Anarchist's Almanac, a humorous A-Z book; two collections of anecdotes, jokes and songs entitled The Unluckiest Man in the World and The 14½ Pound Budgie; and a comedy/thriller/fantasy, Killer Budgies. His other books include a series covering aspects of his interest in British folklore and history—The Little Book of the Green Man, The Little Book of Stained Glass, The Little Book of Gargoyles, and The Little Book of Misericords—and the loosely-factual autobiography, You Can See the Angel's Bum, Miss Worswick! He recently made a series of fourteen short films on minority religions in England for the BBC's Heaven and Earth show, and since 1999 has presented the BBC Radio 2 flagship folk and roots programme, The Mike Harding Show, every Wednesday from 7pm to 8pm. Harding is a dedicated hillwalker and a former president of the Ramblers' Association. He writes a regular column for hiking magazine The Great Outdoors and campaigned for "Right to Roam" legislation in the UK. He lives with his wife Genevieve Tudor
