Re: DIGI001 / Windows 95/98/?? - System Requirements etc BEGGING YOU TO HELP!
Yes I have thought about getting a Mac. I already have 2 PC's at home and work with PC's at my day job. I've got Loads of ram, 4 HD's, CDR, 3 monitors, TV video cards, MP3 server, scanners, printers, thousands in windows software. I'm in deep with the PC's.
You will never catch me saying that PC's are better than Mac's or vice versa. they both have advantages depending on the application. And, yes, for this application the Mac is probably the best format. Mac's have long been the leader on the media side of things.
Am I worried about the PC version because it is taking so long? Nope. What that tells me is they have not developed a Windows 95/98 app. It's a totally different animal than the Mac, and windows NT. For the Mac version they just had to make some changes to what the already had. Win 98 they are starting from scratch. There are also many more compatibility issues with the PC. primarily because there are so many different brands and types of hardware available. anyone can make hardware for a PC. That's why there is so much available. but it makes it hard for the developers.
If I was starting from scratch, and Pro Tools was all that I was going to run, there is no question, it's a no brainer, Mac all the way. But I can do things with my PC's that are just not doable on a Mac. And I know PC's. Why change?
As much as I hate this waiting game I can understand it. I guess I just got to wait...
