The Logic Off Topic list

Lets face it. The mac is the graphic designers machine.I know adobe 
apps are optimised for it.
But hey i'm a Dual proc pc user, which is pretty good for adobe stuff

for audio though, its got to be a harder decision.I think pc,s are 
getting the better performanc at present with logic, but if you ever 
want to go pro tools and tdm then...
In N.Z.(where i live)the price difference is huge
