Fritz can you help John find work? He's very talented at something.

OK, boys.  Don't make me break out my years on UNIX boxes and  animation 
systems on you.  Those were machines that would do whatever you  told them to. 
 You just had to figure out how.


An old joke about Macs we used to make went like this:


Macintosh: a rudimentary computer designed for the blissfully ignorant or  
novice user.  Made overly large so that it cannot be accidentally  inserted 
into the rectum, but with rounded corners and edges in case one  manages to 
do so anyhow.


About PCs?  It was along the lines of:  It looks like the kid  got your 
looks and her brains.


With that said, Macs are a fantastic platform for audio recording and  
editing, and if I ever become a real person again, I'll be purchasing one for  
that purpose.

Thankfully my computer is the servant  and works to understand me rather 
than the opposite  and yes, all the  ugly stuff is hidden from me as I am not 
a programmer, with the exception  of being a newbie on Max for Live.  What 
it does allow me to do is  run well over 120 tracks of audio from an 8 year 
old 1.25ghz x2 G4 without  ever freezing. My 8 core at work has let me stream 
at least 128 tracks of  VI's along with gobs of audio, all sprayed heavily 
with goops of  plugins.  If I need a Windows program, well, I just boot it 
up.   It appears to me that Mr Gates' software runs pretty well on Mr Job's  
machines, even faster in my very subjective and non-techy view.

The  battery on my wife's HP laptop runs a long time  :>)

So Fritz..... Your  computer.....does it allow you to manipulate and 
understand it, or is all  that ugly stuff hidden or locked away from you? ; )
