To Azuza!
It really isn't any harder to switch to OS X than switch to XP. If your plugins is NOT OS X compatible, they are XP compatible either, no. ( assuming from your post they are OS 9 compatible ) With OS X you get a stable system, with XP you get a stable system if you're lucky. You can learn some unix-cmds for OS X at your leisure. Most of the *nix underpinnings are hidden from "ordinary" users. ( dont mean any disrespect by "ordinary" ) I you like to tweak your system & preferences & what not, unix/linux/OS X - is the way to go. Install & compile your own custom-apps is really easy. Windoze systems are NOT very suitable for demanding video/audio work. The NT-family OS:es are notorious for beeing picky about the underlying hardware they are running on, SCSI-cards are perhaps the prime example of this. ( NT-family == NT, W2K, XP, W2.003K ) Cheers: Dixiechicken -------------------- ==================
