hi,

I bougt my first mac (Ibook G4) 2 weeks ago. I really love the OS. Now I am thinking about bying a desktop computer (powermac) for proffesional purpose. I'm a musician and I'd like to make pre-productions on a computer. I have been working with cubase sx on a pc so far, but my pc is no longer powerfull to serve my purposes.
If I would switch to mac, I would have to use logic (as cubase isn't really working well on mac) and buy all the software I already have on my pc. I went to the music shop who has 15 years experience in studio en audio software. He deals bought mac & pc. His answer was clear: if you buy a powermac, you pay double the price than for a pc, which will do the same job perfectly. the only difference is the OS. AND, you pay 3000 Euro, for a machine who has only 512Mb!
I respect his opinion, but I keep looking for different opinions. I want to do a serious invesment and I wonder If I should buy a mac or pc.
I use it for recording audio (not more than 8 tracks) and combinen it with midi

Can anyone help me out?
thx

fanatics & radicals, please spare me your comment. only inteliggent computer users.
fanaticism leads to aggresion.
Respecting each other choices is the better way, that's my opinion.

thank you for answering my question drewott.

I agree on OS X being far more stabel than XP.
honestly, I'm in love with the OS ;-)
no really, when you come from XP, OS gives you the feeling that working with a computer càn be nice.

that's way I decided to buy mac.
I was hesitating between powermac G5 an iMac G5 or iMac Intel
I bought iMac Intel 20" becasue I want to use it for music purpose and it has a dual core processor, that wil do the job.
Also, the computer is really nice design.

thx again.
a new enthousiastic mac user
