Updating the Virus at work

Since we’ve been showing our house, I’ve had to dismantle my studio and make it look like a generic computer room, and all my synthesizers are locked in the server room at work. They recently released Virus OS 4.5.2 and then updated it today with 4.5.3, so I decided to pull the Virus out and apply the updates. I can’t even use it here; I have nothing with a 1/4” tip for audio, nor is my computer and its terrible on-board sound card up to the task of handling the USB audio pass-through. Nonetheless, it’s bizarre how soothing just having it here on the desk next to me quietly doing its thing is. It really makes me want to get my studio back and spend some quality time in it.
Incidentally, if you’re an IT professional, you get a lot of weird reactions if people ask what you’re doing and you nonchalantly respond, “Updating my Virus.”
