hi,

I've been using PC since the times of D.O.S. which forced me to learn the basics of programming to acheive stable and power performance of subsequent windows systems.

Right now I use presario RS300 2.8Ghz, I mix on Logic 5.5 and perform live with Ableton. I can use about 25 plugins in Logic, a couple of additional VSTs on 30 stereo audio tracks and I'm really happy with the power the PC offers me. That however, is bought by hours of system configuring and occasionally recovering important work after system crash in the middle of a creative keep-it-going night session.

The new versions of Logic on Mac as well as my PLUG AND PRAY attitude towards XP whenever I go out on stage, made me consider buying a G4 1.5 Ghz powerbook in one month.

Would a G4 offer as much power as I have now?

I have many friends working on macs, they are usually happy with their machines although they aren't "power users".

Have any of you guys any experience on this?

Any comments greatly appreciated.

Regards
