I had no problem with the use of the "C" word in this particular instance due to its context and that it was a literal translation. I honestly don't have any problem with the odd expletive tossed about on a forum but, I do tend to curb my own use while here out of respect for the platform. I fail to see any harm in it in this case, it wasn't demeaning or hateful.....it was pretty funny.....where has our sense of humor gone?

I've read your posts, I know that you are knowledgeable concerning music and its perpetuity on our Macintosh computers. I can see where you wouldn't have a problem with the "c" word. You don't own one. And I DO have an intact sense of humor.

This "literal translation" thing, well, I really don't understand what you & lepetitmartien are talking about there. Between French and English, I find the same meanings of this word. What I DO believe, is that lepetitmartien truly meant no ill regard to women. Mostly because I pay attention to all the ambiguities in his and everyone's posts.

I won't masticate this further. It is enough said about that.

The new Macbooks SUCK. With no fire wire, they are inadequate to compete in the market with our needs.

So until Apple/Macintosh perceives us music makers as a viable market niche, then we will have to do without them, and stay the course with previous products or for new music makers, regrettably switch to alternatives.

Thank you Lepetitmartien, for the "I'm sorry" smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

Again, your explanation regarding literal translation, I don't understand, but I do trust your intentions were good. smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

Don't take any noise for granted. With a little rythym, it could be music.
