PCs running complex, CPU-intensive patches though, especially Jitter patches, will run circles around Macs, even the G5s. Most major externals have been ported to the PC, FWIW (I don't really use anything but Tap.Tools, Jade, the jasch externals, PeRColate objects and MsPinky though, so YMMV).

Every time I've found myself in need of a tool that wasn't immediately available in OS X Aqua form, I found an OS X port of a Linux app and ran that. Not the same for games, of course, but that's another good reason to keep the P4 going. Happiness is not having to switch, but being able to make a choice. That, an using synergy to control the Linux machine, the Windows machine and the Powerbook from a single keyboard and mouse :-) cheers w --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
