OS X truly is awesome. i was skeptical at first, but it has performed so well and is such a joy to use i have been converted. never will i switch to the dark side. VirtualPC under OS X runs quite well if i ever run across an absolute essential PC-only software item, which is pretty rare. i can think of a few Mac-only software items (Absynth) i wouldn't know how to run on a PC, they must have some reverse version of VirtualPC... if you spend a lot of time in your OS it's all just so much easier and more pleasant on a Mac imho. > Having purchased a MOTU 828 firewire audio interface, my plan is to be > able to bring that and an iBook to a gig and get an 8 channel direct to > disk recording.
