Hi,
I'm getting ready to buy a new computer for my future studio. After emailing, posting messages in forums, long considerations etc. it looks like I will go in the direction of a PC. Why? I talked to an employee of Apple, and he told me that if I buy a G4 today, I should be ready to sell it when new processors come out at the end of 2003. I wanted to ask Mac users, what do you think about this new, what I think they call "G5" and what is it going to mean for you? Will your current software and recording hardware work with the G5? Also, how is Cubase SX with OSX? Please elnighten me, I might still change my mind and go Mac if it makes sense. Petra |

>I have personally had Mac SE-30, Powermac 6100, iMac G3-Bondi Blue Rev-B, iMac G4-flatpanel 700 and iMac flatpanel 800. I dont notice any -- real practical -- difference in speed. < Well... Care to go back to that SE-30? :-) Talk about agony! My first Mac was the 61/60 PPC. I bought the G3 beige because the 61/60 failed. Turned out to be the internal battery. I gave it to my dad. When I go to try it out it is slow that I'm happy to have moved on. I completely agree with you about how improvements that should have led to speed improvement gave way to some of the other goodies we now take for granted, like incredible resolution and great color and, as we here know, fantastic sound!
