yeah.....im not speaking because i wanna be "ultra hip" and use a unix based
OS for mental masturbation...i just have a good feeling that i'm going to be
moving away from the windows envirnment pretty soon simply because i dont
like this business of a hardwired OS that tells on me if i dont pay for
winzip...im not down with all that-and i think alot of other people feel the
same way....im sure something with sound will pop up soon with Linux....i
know there are some trackers out there for it already, but i'm not too into
the tracker scene even tho trackers are definitely dope....oh well...
haha, yeah, you can definitely screw yourself with multiple desktops, but i
think it would be aaasome for my live setup...
haha, OS X sucks my nuts...we have it in our studio-it's the pits...i found
it rather hilarious when the founder of linux replied when asked about OS X
"it's crap, everything they could have done wrong, they did..."
hahahha....and i think he's right, we can't even keep it runnin in the
lab-even the die hard mac people come in and don't use the OS X
machines...plus i feel really really hindered w/ Mac, and it's the only thing
i hate about linux-i absolutely HATE how you can see your desktop while your
trying to work on something, and if you don't click right on the window the
program goes away and you have to toggle back to that program....UGH, i hate
that more than anything....oh well...
