Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

WHAT??

Are you kidding me? With all the crap I've/we've been through with  
Logic's compatibility and stability issues over these many years, and  
now I go I finally break down, put out and buy a state-of-the-art Mac  
so I can run the software that betrayed me when I was a Win user in  
2003...

AND now you tell me they just managed to come up with a version that  
will marginally run on the latest Apple hardware? How long before  
Logic Pro will run *reliably* on my MacBook?

This just strikes me as insane. So I should have bought a G5, huh?   
Now, I have to spend $1000 on software that will eventually run on my  
laptop, if I let Apple experiment long enough.

Maybe Cubase will be cheaper and more reliable, after all. I just  
can't believe I bought a Mac so I could use Logic again, and it's  
like it's 1999!

Am I missing something here?
