it's really not this big mac vs pc debate that you are now turning this into. i was just telling the guy that he shouldnt jump on the mac bandwagon because ableton hiccuped since macs are certainly not free of problems. i then posted what i think are great examples of why i think that my argument holds water:
A) apparats mac crashed twice and smartbar the other night
B) protools 7 on G5 macs in my class crash all the time.
and those were just two off the top of my head. i could have gotten way more elaborate with it.

thats just dandy that you wouldnt go back, most people are usually overprotective of their investments. Updated XP machines are fine too, especially if you run a little antivirus now and then and dont go fucking with the registry like i do all the time and burn myself.

Edit: Also, it doesn't really sound like you have a ton of experience working on proper Mac's, I guess if I were you, I just wouldn't make blanket generalizations about something you don't really ever use outside of a classroom setting (where we all know that computers, PC or Mac, have a tendency to get fucked rather quickly). |
those G5s are cleaned daily and kept up pretty well from what i see. not to mention they are used ONLY for music production. i open 4 wave files in protools at once, poof crash. wtf is that all about?

To each their own, but I just don't see a really strong argument from you as to why people shouldn't be using Mac's...

you dont see a strong argument from me because im really not trying to have a mac vs pc debate. they both capable of having signifigant problems that are undeniable, ESPECIALLY WHEN DEALING WITH AUDIO SOFTWARE AND VST BASED SHIT. with that being said, and like i said twice earlier, i just warned the guy to shy away from the elitist mac bullshit bandwagon, and not to jump on it purely because ableton crashed on him, thats all.
