Originally posted by Yorick: I've been using Macs in recording studios for years, but I recently got given a Titanium G4 Powerbook. I've previously owned Amigas and PCs, and always desktops, so I'm excited about this sexy beast to say the least! I'm still finding my way around it, and trying to negotiate some new music software I got with it. But I reckon on design alone the Apples are much nicer. They just feel user friendly. They're stylish. iTools rocks as well. So does the speech commands. I changed the command word from "computer" to "Hal" just for kicks. "Hal, close this application" It refused.... (maybe it didn't recognise the word Hal..... yeah, that must have been it, right?) The game situation is a bit suckish though. Gives me a similar feeling to the last days of Amiga... Let us know what you find Charean. I found BGII on Mac and some good games down near Brooklyn Bridge, but no ToB. Is ToB on the Mac yet? Anyhow for music there's no comparison really. Though I used to get good results from my PC system, in terms of speaking with other studios it's much easier to be on Mac. Macs recognise Aiffs, SDIIs AND Wavs, whereas PCs only recognise Wavs, so it's a one way transfer street.

I knew there something I liked about you Yorick
MACs are about as close as we can get to the Star Trek computers now.
