Guten Rutsch und schöne Grüsse nach Bembeltown!!
It is not that much about friends, just professional thing, the gear you bring to a gig is part of what they pay for so expensive computer,blinking controllers are part of it, why they hire you and not a guy who has headphone and 10CD, calls himself DJ and will work for half of your fees or free.
I dont give a shit about it all but it is show biz so you have to show your business. Macbooks ( non Pro) are in the cheapest laptops range and everyone knows that. Also everyone knows that Macs are easy to use for non computer savvy- , combined with the Macbooks low prices it means you are low end in all aspects = cheap ass. It is like having @aol.com E mail address.
Additionally the white Macbook became as much gay fashion accessory as Dolce & Gabbana, at least here inn Frankfurt area. The Caribbean clubs where I work are hardcore machistas, for them even Salsa Nuyorkina is gay.
