Diezel owners remind me to Mac owners....

I'm with Peter, no Macs! I have a Mac Mini at work that I use for testing, but I've never gotten into them. Honestly, I find OSX to be very unintuitive. When I stray from Windows (when, not if) I'll skip Macs and go straight to Linux.

You gotta give Mac OS X a try, but use it exclusively for a week or too.....NO WINDOWS, and that'll get you out of your confort zone. It's an amazing OS.

I can't stand windows anymore

Unintuative? You got to be kidding me...
I've been in IT for almost 20 years, my main area being Unix with some Linux thrown in, but I do need to work with some Windoze stuff at work, so I have a pretty good feel about what's intuative and what isn't, and Macs are by far the most intuative thing of all three.

Well, we should take any Mac/Windows debate offline, but uninstalling a program from OSX is extremely unintuitive (and not standardized).

The MacBook Pro is here (I'm posting from it actually lol)
All of you who have .mac accounts PM me to make video chats from iChat AV.
My reaction is the same the day I got the VH4

SWEEET!!!! I'll post pics of my recording rig too.....

 

[jemmx]

Common post yours pics

Lololololololol.

I've got a PC, but when I've got spare cash it's Diezel cab vs. Mac Pro decision. Do I want to record things easier and bypass all the pissing about with my PC when recording, or do I want to record something that sounds a bit nicer...

BTW; merry christmas! I'm definitely quite merry atm tbh...

Na, it's all good...

If you call dragging an icon into the trashcan and emptying the trash afterwards unintuative...ok...

No Macs for me. I don't like the "tons of windows" paradigm OSX uses and also the fact that it doesn't run (or have a viable alternative) some of the software I use. Plus for the money they cost I can generally get a superior Windows-based PC.

I do have a 3rd generation iPod Nano 4GB though and it's excellent aside from the fact that you need separate software and its own cable (as opposed to a standard mini-USB connector) to move music on the thing.

Not sure what software you use and that part of your statement does have some merit, but Macs don't cost more than compareable Windoze PC's, plus they have all kinds of advantages over Windoze. Also, look at Vista and tell me they don't use tons of windows...which they copied from Linux...

Amen

The problem is not a PC itself , the problem is Microsoft. Apple isn't perfect but I prefer OSX for too much reasons.

PC never have it and never buy it, only run it in Parallels (keygens )

Logic Pro is Amazing and exist a lot of plug ins, maybe 90%?, whatever, always you can run Bootcamp (Native windows without virtualization and run more stable, why?, the drivers are made from Apple )

I spread the word

Euro for euro, an iMac for example costs more than a similarly equipped Windows PC over here. I just specced a much better machine (faster processor, bigger hdd, 3 gigs more ram, better graphics card) than a basic iMac and it was still several hundred euros cheaper!

Yes, Windows uses (surprise surprise) windows as well, but the logic behind them is different. Many MacOS programs open as many many windows whereas Windows generally has one central window. I prefer running most programs full screen and this is kinda against the logic MacOS uses. Even though you can maximize windows they're still not the stationary kind like in Windows. In OSX I find myself spending a lot more time arranging windows compared to when I'm using Windows. I actually think the whole window paradigm might not be that great anyway, I mean who really wants to spend their time arranging windows? It would work better if they at least snapped to other windows instead of going over them.

My iMac is brand new and for the power it packs you'd be hard-pressed to find a PC with Windows, and I live in Euroland.

Also, I think you misunderstood about the windows.... Mac OS X is using a thing called Spaces, similar to the virtual desktops Linux and Unix systems have had for many years, and similar to what the company from Redmond is copying now in Vista.

First of all Mac OS X is a truly multi-tasking OS compared to windows which is pseudo multi-tasking.
And still I can't find something I can't do with OS X.
I'm really digging Obj-C and the whole Cocoa thing right now
