Re: New G5 in the house
I really thought my 1.6g P4 512m ram PC was the bomb when I bought it 2 years ago. It has XP on it and I thought that it actually ran fairly well without too many quirks. My computer before was a P3 333m with little ram so I was impressed. I guess it has alot to do with what you will tolerate after being pummelled by a complete POS.
You know what I mean. My P3 was like walking barefoot 20 miles through broken glass. The P4 was like getting a pair of shoes and at first it was nice to have shoes.
Now Im driving a Porsch.
In an attempt to keep the wife from loading 50 gig of free game software into the Mac I bought a long network cable so that I could install the PC elsewhere in the house and she could play games or whatever on it and suddenly the PC no longer wants to run through my cable modem and it wants me to read pages of help support (help my arse).
I turned on every program I could find on this computer, played music and ran streaming video through the internet and then started running Protools and the Mac didn't blink. I actually think it laughed at me for trying.
Screw PCs.

Bugger I used to have Macs...I have an AMD Barton 2500+ that runs 2.2gighertz, n-force2 chipset MSI motherboard, XP-pro, ATI 9600 Pro, 1gig Samsung Ram running in dual mode, it is ok but man how I am sick of virus, trojan horses, firewalls, security patches, bad drivers, reg-cleanings, bugs bugs and more bugs.
While the Macs I had also crashed, it was the classic system none to fond of doing more than one thing at the time, I never had the same hassles as with this system, plus it runs hot, well while the techbug in me likes the fan setup, I actually do not like to mess so much with computers, just really wants to use them and not be bugged by endless demands, so I need more than one system, because I also like to mess around with Linux, lol!

Actually, I know a lot of Unix/Linux users that switched to Powerbooks when OSX came out...
Back to music: has anyone used both ProTools and Logic? Which one is easier to use? I'm mostly concerned with recording/mixing + the ability to lay down drum tracks.
