    Why is it a lot of guys go in to a defensive penis envy mode whenever a new bit of kit comes out?

    Did Stravinsky or Mozart get in to endless debates on the best parchment to use?

    Did Beethoven spend hours at the coffee shop pondering the differing values of ink pigments?

    At the end of the day – all PCs (whatever the brand) are just tools – the skills in getting the best out of them rests with the individual.

    Surely at the end of the day it is not which is the best (Giga/EXS/MAC/DELL) it is a case how can I get the best out of what I have.

    All have fun now,

    looking on the original scores, it's fairly possible, he _did_ [;)]
    back to topic (not the envy-thing) - i remember this choir of screaming when peter alexander announced the 4-machine-truespec-suite for ~14,000.- including soundcards, ect.
    i'm not sure most users are willing to spend such an amount for a *naked* machine besides i would love to get one of this G5-beasts into my workshop for testing-purposes - bump, has everybody seen my purchase-order?

    If you're referring to our Solution-4, all four systems came with the complete library installed, one orchestral section per machine (as recommended in writing by the OEM), audio cards, back-up training and support, along with 3-year onsite and depot warranty so that should a computer part go down, it could be replaced within an average of 24 hours.

    However, in Hollywood, many prefer nakedness, which is why we offer LA (or Las Vegas or Miami) customers the option of a free bottle of Sunscreen when ordering (to avoid burn on such naked systems) or in keeping with Hollywood tradition, a used Christian Dior tie.

    For more frigid climates, we offered an astronaut's blanket to avoid frost bite.

    I hope this clarifies the case of our naked computers.... [H]

    LOL - obviously my wording was misunderstandable. i wanted to express that in opposite to your _well-suited_ four-pack the G5 for 7,000.- comes without any additional feature (and a single 160GB-disk to add that)

    Maybe not parchment....but I'm sure they were excited at new instruments, and they probably used to compare the size of their organs. [[;)]]

    Anyway, if computers are the "penises" here, then the Vienna Symphonic Library is definitely the Viagra!! [+o(]
