New Computer System for HVRN!













Upon my return from the week in the hospital, I came back to a VERY nice surprise!  As most of you are aware, I have been broadcasting on the same computer system for several years now.  Though this system has been updated as much as possible, it just couldn't handle the heavy task of daily broadcasting any longer and became very unstable.  Our new friends over at Kelsey Live (Special thanks to TOD HD) became aware of our dilemma and wanted to help.
 TOD HD had called me up and asked me just what kind of system it would take to run and maintain a healthy broadcast again.  I told him that with today's technology and constant change, that it would take something that was cutting edge and ahead of it's time.  I let him know that I was saving HVRN funds for a new system but it would cost a couple of thousand before we could make this a reality.  TOD was very eager to help and told me he was going to buy a new computer system for HVRN.  I get a phone call 2 days later and he had made the purchase and WOW what a monster!

The new system arrived last Wednesday and for all of you "tech" geeks out there, here is just a bit of the specs this new baby has.

1 TB Hard Drive
8 GB Ram
Windows 7 64 bit
HD graphics card (VERY impressive)

This is just a taste of it and I am still not use to the extreme speed and stability just yet!  Commands are instant with the new machine and it can really handle the much needed and heavy tasks that I use to maintain a live show.  The old system could no where near compare to this and you will all notice a drastic change in our live shows!

We had our debut broadcast tonight (Monday Meltdown) using the new system and I was most impressed with its performance and so was our audience!  We had a bit of a set back with the sound card on the new machine as it takes a special sound card to be able to put forth the quality show that what makes us HVRN!  We have always had a unique sound at a very high quality.  All went forward today without one hitch, crash, error message, or dreaded FREEZE during tonights show.  I would really like to thank the folks at Kelsey's for all of their support as well as each of YOU for your very kind donations, promotion, feedback, and sponsorship.

Over the past 7 years, HVRN has grown to become one of the top paranormal talk radio shows in the world and this is due to your continued efforts to keep us right on the cutting edge of talk radio!  Sit back and get ready for some BIG changes coming your way as this will be a ride that is a long time coming for us all!
