Aye Word to Grand Daddy Mac he's right on point. I'm still on a 5 year old PowerBook G4 12"! I've wanted to upgrade for the past 2 years but after looking at specs, 440 forums (thanks for being testers) and helping many people with new macs and hardware, I came to the conclusion that it takes alot of time, knowledge and effort to keep up with the lastest and greatest! Daddy Mac made 2 good points and they where basically.
1. Try before you buy.
Or
2. Buy Used Working/Properly equipment (Once again Daddy Mac said you can save alot of money and he's right).
I would like to add one other Point and that is KISS
Keep It Simple Stupid(Sound) Meaning keep your setup simple and your music will come alive as you will not spend so much time fixing problems, learning new hard/software, or simply search or looking for sounds.
But I must agree with the majority we loyal mac users have preached and spread the word for years, We've hooked others on macs and a since 10.5 it seems Apple is going consumer on Us with the Missing Firewire port on the new MacBooks. I myself was seriously considering one until i woke up the next morning and saw the posts on 440 (Thanks everyone) and realized I missed the missing firewire port. I was in disbelief that Apple would do something like that! With that said please encourage everyone you know with a Mac to go to Apple forums and complain. Open up as many as we can under all kinds of topics relating to firewire ie. video, music, etc and COMPLAIN. Second hold off a while on buying the MacBookPro and I think we will see firewire back on the MacBook by the summer!
Happy Music Making
Peace
