RE: Mac G4 midi software question

["Rainer Straschill" <rs@moinlabs.de>]

Hey Stuart, Hi Ritsu,

another point I have yet to understand: why a Mac? (except for an uncanny
desire to use Emagic software). While I do well understand the valid points
of the anti-ms/intel fraction, I cannot see (from my uninformed point of
view) the real advantage of a Mac. Is it better suited for
harddisk-recording, audio processing, or something else ?
