Subject: my .02 cents...

gents, lets end this thread quickly...cause we ALL know it could go on and
on and on... Mac vs. PC...

I have em both in all levels of OS... they all have some good and some bad
quirks about each and everyone of them.

Incidently... remember that Apple "cube" that flopped... did ya know they
became Nintendo Game Cubes... !?!?!?!

hehehehe...... Markk


And you've made a good case for the Mac right there. The Mac is hardware and
operating system from a single company. It's kind of like a console game
machine in that aspect. I just don't think any large, buggy and burdensome
operating system belongs in niche products like digital recorders. That
should
all be inhouse code, or at most, some small low level operating system to
build
ontop of. Game consoles haven't been running Microsoft code (until the
Xbox),
so I won't expect them to be bombing out all the time.

All this computer mess is why if I can get a String synth engine written, it
will be a hardware box only (and maybe a stripped down motm module version).
No VST plug-ins that will generate a million tech help phone calls and no
software pirating issues either. I may prefer the Mac over the PC, but I
still
hate all computers.
