How many more songs could you have made in the same time?

Sure, I COULD spend as much time as you have getting familiar enough to build my own PC. But I've got better things to do.

Like making music. Or gigging. Or working at the studio. Or washing my hair. Or watching TV. Or picking my nose

But thanks for the 'hyperbolic diatribe' bit. Hilarious! Thank God YOU don't suffer from that![/B]

I will answer your points.

Number 1....Yes if you knew anything about PCs you would know its pretty much as simple as that. 12 parts snapped or screwed in, turn on, load OS and you are off and running.I don't think MAC users knew that. MAC users don;t want to know things like that. You said it yourself!! But yes it's that simple.

Number 2... Maybe one verse or track. Seriously It takes about a couple hours (IF that) to build a computer from scratch. And maybe an hour at most to load the OS. So yeah three hours of "missed music" There goes my chance at a Grammy....

Even less time to repair a single part. Registry issues requiring hours of time are extremely rare and again there is free software to clean up the registry. In 20+ years I have never had to dig into the registry to hunt down a problem. That's Apple scare Myth. Again it shows your total lack of personal blindly accepting "MAC Myth"

Hyperbole is exaggeration. Your statement about assembling an Arranger or a car and equating that to building a PC is definitely hyperbole. I am speaking facts not hyperbole.

The bottom line is you are assuming too much and know little. No one's music will suffer because they took the time to learn about something else. Now if you just don;t want to which I said was true from the start. Mac users don;t want to learn. They want Easy. I could accept that. I AGREE!!

But to claim your "music" would "suffer" is clearly again Hyperbole. What if your MAC goes down. How many days would it take you out of the "mix". In my case hours. That's not hyperbole. That's fact.
