OFFICIALLY AN APPLE CONVERT!!

Congratulations!!

Im an official PC convert, and it feels great too, yeah!!!

Desktop with Antec super silent slick designed case, even nicer design then the current mac desktops in my humble opinion. I cant even here the fans running.
Quad core 2.4 CPU, 2gigs of ram,fast drive, fast graphics. Never had a better system. Paid 800$ for it about a year ago. Waiting for my 12" lenovo w/spill proof keyboard and 5 hour battery.

Times are good now, even for us broke fellas! Remember back when you only could do MIDI on a pc or a mac. I had to run a Comodore Amiga to be able to run internal sampling! Later I got a killer sampler for my power mac, it was the size of a desktop pc (Akai s2000) and I maxed it out with a whooping 16 mb of ram. It was a revolution compared to the 1/2 mb ram on the Amiga. Though being able to do everything in the box was something I missed from the amiga all the way through the 90ties. Lots of macs and pcs during that time.. Propellerheads was ok, but didnt really catch my interest in the way that they seemed to look back to the 80ties, and not ahead off time. Cubase VST and the other daws was shit, but mostly because of machines capacity at the time. I ran a lot of creamware cards, all of them actually, but windows was unstable. ( 95-98 ) Wasnt before Live and the Pentium Centrino 2 GHZ that things started to look real good again. Actually Traction 1 on a G4 powerbook was almost perfect just before that.. But the Centrion 2GHZ + Live was the first system that I felt 100% happy with, regarding cpu/ram use and creative functionality forward thinking software. Great times indeed!

I will convert back to mac again when or if they present a multi touch system next year. Eighter that or I will save up for a Lemur or two.

I'm a recent convert as well. I still love Windows XP for a lot of reasons, but I love OSX just as much at this point. I honestly am far more productive with it, even after a short learning period. Good luck

in the space of 3 years ive had 3 pc laptops, none of them have run Live smoothly during gigs.

my most recent notebook a core2duo 2ghz machine with 2gig of ram couldnt get through a live dj set (2 channels of audio) without skipping and glitching randomly.. really tried to do just about everything possible to get the shit to work right.

bought a macbook about 5 days ago and used it at a gig last night and it worked perfectly.. what can i say?
