the following is what happens to your post when you have voice recognition, drink expresso like it was coffee, and just can't shut up.

Take the computer off his hands, spare the landfill, tell him to accept $200 for it because that's it's approximate street, and if it's not, excuse me then lets wait a couple weeks then it will be. Tell him when you're done with it, you'll give it to his kid for nothing (donate)*.

OFF POSTED TOPIC...MAC/PC = APPLE/ORANGE turned to MAC/PC = APPLEORANGE/ORANGE
Cubase runs better in a Mac. Period. Unless they plan on converting the x86 code to machine language, but for the most crucial portions of sequencing's instruction set with a PC, I can't think of any machine assembly runs to bake that cake. It's done on the upper level.
-Tek was right again as he said above, they work differently (Dammit! LOL)
Mac's proccess low level. PC's use high level proccessing. Although "high level" has a nice sounding ring to it, that's about it. Here's what happens:1mac, 1pc. both computers have the same clock, mem, EVERYTHING'S the same ok. By the time the PC now is prepared and knows it's assigned problem which is next, and, yet to be solved, this is about the same time that the mac delivers the solution. Why? The amount of data a mac needs to compile before it proccesses it is way way less than a PC needs to compile to do the same thing. It is more far more timestaking to write low level machine code than it is to slap a few machine subroutines together
to do the same which explains to you why mac software is so much more pricey, on the other hand it also explains why Windows 98SE is king of the blue screen. Mac's don't blue screen, there's no such thing (LOL unless you are running PC card hardware in it)
Hey, Overall, neither is better or worse than the other OK? It depends on the job. A simple cut and paste for a pc used to have it's advantages over a mac. with all the data kept high level, on a pc, it just gets moved, that data used to have to be broken down and built up again on a mac. With the early mac's there was no such thing as a trim (proccessing selected portions of data that is not previously packeted). It was either a haircut or no haircut. These days (G4), macs can proccess just like a PC if need be (but still on a lower level). Right click now too. Not until today have macs become just as productive as PC's. The software however is still not as simple as higher level PC software
BEST TO ALL IN 2003!
MORPH!

*Never ever ever should a computer be chucked in the can (providing it is not terminally ill or missing too much hardware). Give a 4 year old kid an 11MHz 286, and as long as you have something that he can run with it see his eyes light up. Watch, in no time he will be cloning your old Motorola cell phone, and ??? who knows what else NORAD spoofing? LOL As our body's evolve through the generations, so do our minds...we need to feed these kids.

whatever i was gonna edit this but now im not LOL
