I use foobar2000, freeware with versions for Windows & Mac. Lots of free plug-ins as well.

I'd love to become a Foobar Guy but it's genuinely daunting to try to get into, imho. Any good guides on setting up a decent Foobar configuration?

I use Google anytime I come across something in foobar I need help figuring out. Once you get it configured for converting audio, you can just choose "last used" and it will remember your preferences.

This tutorial looks very similar to how I configured mine.

A while back, in one thread, someone mentioned getting a wireless game controller for their computer and I'd like to get one too but everything I find is either for a play station or an X box and I don't have either of those, I just want one to use with my desktop and play some games. If anyone has any advice/information on this, i'd be grateful.
From what I see there's still a little hope
That's if we don't hang from too much rope

An Xbox controller will work perfectly with windows both wirelessly and wired they are also very durable.

I rarely interact with end users anymore so there's a lot less of that. Im actually really good at end user support but I hate it. The few decent people that you interact with in the end doesn't makeup for the rude assholes that seem to comprise most of the people you interact with. I always thought it was funny when someone would hose their work computer from cruising iffy porn sites (which at one time was all there was). Like you could see what they did thru logs and browser history etc. I rarely said anything to them and never ratted anyone out but Im sure when I said nothing there were people who thought that they "put one over on the IT guy". He didn't even know I was going to porn sites.
