Imac would be fun too.

How are you getting 24 tracks from your two 2882s? Are you running another 8 channel preamp/converter box into one of the MH boxes?
I upgraded from a RME Hammerfall system I was using, but kept the Octopre's for 8 channels and the ADAT ins/outs.

Also, is it clunky trying to manipulate the MIO Console with your fingers? Doing it with a mouse is already clunky enough for me...
A graphic designer friend of mine helped me figure it all out. He uses Mac stuff with a a 21" Wacom screen and pen to draw on the touch screen. For graphic design the pen is incredible for touch sensitivity and fine control. Works just as well for the Ipad as far as control goes(though not as elaborate as a Wacom). I couldnt do it without the pen, I have huge butchers hands. Terrible at soldering, touch screens and classical guitar.

I'll try and take some pics next gig. BTW, I am not using this system for crucial applications. And though Ive not had failure (Logic aside), when I need security I take out the Midas and all its copper friends.
