Exactly -- performance/up to date features -- they are everything. If
performanc didn't matter Mac users would  still be running their Mac Plus
or LCs.

Well -- where do I start:

1. My last post made it clear that Colin was in fact concerned with present
and future performance of Macs -- just not specially realistic about it.
Apple's takeover and decision to make Logic Mac-only forces every PC owner
to consider their future and the price/performance of Macs versus PCs is
germane to any decision to switch platforms should they wish to stay with
Logic.

2.This has nothing to do with testosterone -- it is about facts as they
stand and the probable future developments. These are what you have to get
straight before you invest any more dough in all this technology n'shi*t. 

3. Whaddaya mean? The world is overpopulated as it is.

Murray
