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 |

in the big picture... the end result is all that matters whether it came from a Mac or PC BUT... which would you enjoy using more? that is the choosing factor in my opinion... ideally my main computer would be a mac with a PCI card holding a 1+ghz pentium to run those all important little apps that music equipment manufacturers send with gadgets that only run on PCs with no mac support (such as my DX synth plugin card for my Yamaha CS6x)
