audio recording - PC or Mac. I've had Cubase SX systems perform flawlessly
on the PC (like my own) and I've seen Mac setups be so ungodly unstable
it's sickening.
I like to think the Mac and PC are both equally screwed up in different
ways. ;-) And yes, I own a G4, too...<<

Yes, you're right, I've seen totally idiotic software behavior on the Mac too 
(including some totally stupid problems in Cubase).  But it's usually because 
the applications themselves are buggy and horribly written.  The PC has an 
additional burden of also having a crappy operating system that is so packed 
with bugs and installation headaches that it can maginify the number of 
problems many fold.

Computer recording is pretty much a necessity.  Even if you go out and buy a 
stand alone 24 channel digital recording system like a Macky, I believe all 
they do is build a PC computer into the recorder and you're still in Microsoft 
hell.  It's getting impossible to avoid anymore.

Most computer programmers have no business programming computers. That's the 
main problem.
