welcome to the forums.

people here are generally nice, but OMFG what's up with the hazing?!!?

this never happened back in the day... say, 10 months ago. it appears we've been invaded by http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Boy


BTW - i would recommend a mac, but not for any good reason, just seems to be the norm in my genre of music, and they're sexy, built well, etc.

i would suggest checking out some of the mac vs. pc threads on this forum - they come up at least once every few days.

That sucks, sorry to hear that. I think what makes this place interesting, besides knowledge about Live etc. is the diversity of people posting.
Just remember that the internet is NOT real life, and appreciate the insanity. It's what I do anyway.

hypo-fucking-crite, gimme a break!!!

I like you AFM, always have, cool name too. lately you've openly acted exactly like the person you're complaining about with no apologies. I now see why, you got sick of the BS and cracked. I get it. but FFS anyone can look at your last dozen or so posts and it's absolutely clear you're being a total hypocrite. what the fuck do you have to say to the people YOU'VE been flaming, including me? you think we're no different than you? dude, you straight up told nebulae that his tunes suck and went at him, 'knowing' the guy that's a shitty thing to say.

go to your local supermarket, check the feminine care aisle, do what you have to do and relax. we've all had ups and downs, just be yourself and never take it seriously. if someone's being a fuckwit, make like a badger and get their balls.

FFS it's the internet, people SUCK! but some of them use Live, they're not all bad.

He's right. Tone's a POS sometimes, but sometimes he's dead on. That's life, people aren't perfect. You want perfect? Have a bunch of kids, until you get a sweet young girl, then have her freeze dried at about 4 years of age, stick her in the corner of your living room, and look at her every time you want "perfection" because I guarantee that if you let her live to have a brain of her own, you won't think of her as perfect anymore. Life is better imperfect.

Now there's a computer. Still have one somewhere.

I think that's why I never got excited by the mac/PC debate. Always be an Acorn fanboy at heart.

I can't help you with your laptop question. Maybe using search on this forum will help, but you probably will find loads of Windows v Apple debates, though they reflect the intolerance of attitudes here. My suggestion is to join the KVR forum. People there are generally much more helpful and not as hostile as here.

Here is a link:

Gearslutz is also a very useful place to visit. Here is a link:

http://www.gearslutz.com/board/

If you plan on staying with this forum, then it is advisable to write about non music related topics like politics, general trivia and how this forum needs or doesn't need moderators.

You also need to brown nose the big posters. That means a few things:

1) Respond positively to nebulearse's ridiculous posts.

2) Occassionally call someone a cunt.

3) Say MAD PROPS a lot (whatever that fucking means).

4) Write meaningless posts and insult lots of people.

5) Once you reach 1000 posts you may be welcome here.


Anyway, I am not posting here anymore and I won't visit this forum anymore either. Too much negativity here and too many dickheads.


Goodbye.
+1 yeah, off topics are very important and bitching / bashing like little teenage girls, too.

welcome to the once upon a time quality forum, hope you contribute to make it better again... and don't be afraid of asking ANY question, there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers!

and to answer your initial question, the one i own an apple MBP 2.16 ghz with 4gb of ram, and soon i replace the HD with a 320gb drive. running OSX tiger.

the maschine is serving me absolut fine... no complaints, no need to look any further, for now.

Lenovo (former IBM) Thinkpad T61p is a really high quality Laptop.

If i could choose a Laptop for free right now, it would be the Top-of-the-Line
T61p

If the Macbook Pros didn t have those problems with their Firewire Ports, i would probably choose the best Macbook Pro

HP builds some good Laptops in their buisness line too.

All these options are not cheap.
