Originally posted by Bozos of Bones: Umm, Yorick... More than half of the audio programs you mentioned are for the PC and Mac both. I know, because I worked with them. And of the people in the music industry I know, none use a Mac, and three have tried. It's not like Macs have any strong points when compared to a PC, except for design(arguable) and standardization. You claim that audio and graphics design applications are better on a Mac. That's bull. No Mac application can ever hope to be better than the same application on the PC simply because the PC has three million times the amount of people working on patches, plugins, tools and addons. quote: Originally posted by Yorick: Rubbish. $2500 would get you a kick-arse Mac that handles audio like a dream.

Yeah, whereas a PC for $2500 would handle pretty much everything, audio, video, graphics, 3d design... And you get to play games on it!1!

Originally posted by Yorick: Mac put out security updates regularly and this is the reason why I've NEVER had a virus in my five years working macs. Macs all have the same setups, whereas PCs are varied. Does Dell sendout virus protection every time a new one is discovered? Does HP? C'mon.

Does Intel? You're comparing apples to oranges, Compare Mac to Microsoft, not to Dell or HP, because Dell and HP don't have their own OS.

Originally posted by Yorick: No you can't do everything a mac does. You can't run mac softare on your pc, yet the mac can run pc software. So any program you run, I can run, but you can't run all the mac stuff. Final Cut pro, Logic, Aperture, Garageband. Great programs. Garageband is free with each new mac. I didn't buy a PC specifically because it COULD NOT do all the things I wanted to do.

No, you didn't buy a PC because it didn't have those specifi programs you listed(it has some, but not all). But you didn't go out of your way to inform yourself on what the PC has in those areas now, have you? [/QUOTE][img]graemlins/agree.gif[/img] ..just to be fair..
