In Reply to: ' Buying a Mac is a educated descision and is almost always rewarded by the feeling that you have done the right thing.' - my point proven, u are a pseudo intellectual SteveR! posted by steve on December 01, 2000 at 17:42:47: For beating at each other. Apart from the fact that Mac users are used to it. It seems more that you are a troubled PC user than a Mac hater. I never look for a fight, especially with someone that gives as much time to this forum as you do so lets not travel that route, especially you being a fellow Brit! Everyone is limiting themselves if they believe that a computers abundant software is the limiting factor. That has always appeared more the concern of the Computer Gamer. The ability to make music on a given platform has far surpassed the stage where the Computer system is the limit. We have been able to achieve the same results on the two platforms for many years now and the choice is generally a feeling you get for a given device, like an individuals choices of guitar, you know that. If I choose a Mac, it's because I feel I can live an easier life as a computer user than I have experienced using Windows. If you get better results from a PC then that's fine by me, it's Our own choice. I don't wish to argue my descision with anyone, but I have made it on the basis of 15 years of music making and am happy with it, personally. On the point of Mhz... take it from a Electronics Technician, Mhz is the frequency an IC pulsates at, it's clock speed and has little baring to computations. A truer comparison with various processors is IPS (instructions per second (more recently MIPS, millions of instructions per second) you will be able to judge better the ability of the given processor. For what it's worth seeing we have come this far. Intel's own measurement of the G4 processor showed that a G4 running at 500Mhz was 2.94 times the speed of an Intel Pentium 3 running at 600mhz. A simple explanation why I can pack a 5 minute 128bps .Aif to MP3 in under a minute. Although these things generally bore me to tears, I can't help considering them when choosing a processor chip for a given job. Combine this with a fast system buss running a more than capable set of high speed transfer options and the system cannot be beat today. Dixons sell Mhz as does Intel. Do the maths above anything other than the high street mentality and reap the benefits. I'm not trying to preach, more defend WHY people buy Mac's, why I bought a Mac. Like I said, don't feel sorry for us, live beside us and don't feel threatened... I have many music making PC friends and don't resent them at all. We do all the mixing around my house as I have the undiscussed prefered system. I payed good money for it and love it... take it easy steve and no love lost...!
