I have seen the light!!! (Rated R for explicit Mac Loving!!!
3 Mar 2007, 21:30OK first let me say I would consider myself the least likely person to have migrated from windows to a mac. in-fact I truly beleived until not too long ago that the machines were pretty much identical and there was no "true" difference and the PC enjoyed a larger following due to its open standards.
while I do see that the hardware is very similar one thing stands out that is un-arguable. Mac's reign supreme! I am at this very moment converting a DVD to ipod video and all of my other apps are running like nothing is happening!! furthermore I have experienced no wierd pauses, no funny flashing cursors, no wait to do anything!
I will say that as a music workstation the mac is the absolute best platform to produce that I have ever worked on. I have built Insanely expensive Custom machines to run recording studios and my little mac mini handles audio with infinately less latency, noise and over all hassle! the midi and audio setup is easy and quick. I have only had my mac for a few days and already I am feeling that I can actually produce something decent without much effort... Just the fact that garage band is so easy to use and is free with the mac places it way above anything Windows can offer!
my system doesnt freeze when the screen saver starts.... or stops... everything is nice and smooth!
MACS RULE!!!!
