Re: PC user thinking of going Mac.. question.
I am running a working studio with session 4 to 6 days a week. I am also a former computer tech. For me it was the issue of having my studio equipment be reliable and without hiccups, so I choose Mac. As far as longevity, I just purchased a used PowerMac G5 2.5GHz quad processor for $500 that will keep me working for the next 2 years until I can upgrade to whatever the new future HD system will be and a 12-core Mac Pro (or whatever they are up to then). I am stuck at Leopard with this current machine, but I am not using all of Digi's toys that are currently available (elastic audio, TCE etc) and most to come in say PTLE 8.1 and so on. I need a rock solid computer to record/play and use my handful of choice plug-ins.
