If you take a look on the discussion boards besides VSL, you will see I dislike Apple quite a lot at the moment for a number of other reasons. Your insinuation that my statements are either not impartial or not based on direct experience is not accurate. I'm just calling it how I see it.
For example, what Apple has done with the Quad G5 machines + Logic Pro is nothing short of utterly disgusting in my opinion - a very very shady business going on there from what I know, and far from the PPC's being slow they have been dumbing down their PPC software so that the Intel's would run much faster on spec, in fact, with Logic Pro, it has been only capable of running at 50% of processor capacity in the quad machines (this is easily verifiable), but 75% in the new mac pros, In fact, a 2.7 dual G5 will run logic Pro marginally faster than a quad G5 - if bought when the quads were released, of cousre, the quad was much more expensive. A big rip off and very unfortunate for a lot of people (who used Logic no such problem on other software or OSX itself) - from apple, total silence. [8o|] In fact when I posted on the disucssion board on this topic, without breaking their rules of posting, it was deleted twice! And many others experienced the same thing. That's one example.
OS9 was a joke... (not as much as windows95 at least it worked with one app runing - like logic or cubase), other people strongly disagree with me there many top studios are still using it (god knows why) as I said if you turn it on start logic and touch nothing else it will repeatedly work for many years but don't try to do anything else.
PPC machines were over priced, I already said that, yes, and overhyped too but still very cool machines almost deserving of much of the hype, sometimes entirely deserving on some points.
Configuration - you have a point there but I can't find anything that I actually want to put into those PCI slots except a firewire card! - And also, somebody on the net has already swapped the dual core cpu's with quad core cpu's and booted up an 8core mac pro and ran applications on it - OSX used the 8 cores straight off.
My opinions are based on experience and my own considerations of things. You could consider that to suggest otherwise, could be interpretted as an insult, as it is directly disrespectful of the other persons opinion and position without having grounds to be openly so, (in other words just an assumption not facts), and doing so, in fact, could potentially give the wrong idea to others of some arrogance on your part, (which I wouldn't want) or perhaps insecurity of your own position on the matter (surely not the case) [6] [[[;)]]] , however, if so, such as it may be, that would be understandable, I mean, if I still owned a PC instead of my G5, I'd probably feel the same way [6] [6] [:D] [[[;)]]]
As it is, you enjoy your PC ( [:D] [:D] [:D] ) ahem, and er, I'll enjoy my Mac [H] and if you're right, you'll be happy with that conclusion I know I am [[[:P]]] [[[:P]]] [[[:P]]]
ha ha ha.

All the best,
