Well if it cost that much more it should be that much better correct?

c'mon guys let's not turn it into a Mac/PC debate.

Donny if you have genuine questions re the differences and are not trying to just "stir the possum"...start a new thread

They say MAC does everything in a more logical way vs PC...
Only reason I'm hesitant is that some of my music editing programs don't have MAC versions....otherwise i would have to change and relearn new programs. I like the fact about less potential for Virus's, etc...

Tony try this...

Hope this helps.

Donny, Donny Donny...all you did was copy and paste from a link given by someone else, and you are passing it off as your own knowledge...tut tut tut

I am nowhere near a PC geru or claim to be in any way shape or form,like some here think they are ....I was just trying to help Tony,...did a search on his problem and this seems to work judging by the posts on the tech forum.
Sorry for helping, btw wasn't Tut King Of Egypt? ....

Donny that link was posted way above your post as well you know

I daresay your "search" was simply clicking on the link given by Cass copying it and then pasting it and now trying to suggest you undertook this massive search JUST to help out...

And tut in lower case has no reference to the pharaoh, and in any case it is not Tut it is Tutankhamun ...Tut is one of those silly abbreviations that get so widely used that people actually believe that was the guys real name!!

Wrong again dennis...here is where I got it from..looking to start trouble today?...tut tut tut

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Foru...9-a78f4ae551cf/

now if you'll excuse me I have gigs to perform at this evening.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Foru...9-a78f4ae551cf/

Wow, remarkably similar to Cass's link in fact IDENTICAL!!!

I don't want to start a Mac/PC debate. I am simply trying to offer a solution to the OP's problem. In over 20 years of Mac use, I have NEVER needed to even think about anything as complicated as Donny's post! My Mac's started up, did what they were supposed to, and stayed out the way.

BTW, Mac's aren't as prone to viruses and other malware not because they aren't worth it for hackers to try (though that might have been true back in the OS8-9 years) but because OSX is based on Unix, an enterprise level OS that was designed for security and flexibility. Plenty of hackers TRYING, these days. OSX's firewall and sandboxing are bombproof.

My point was that, a computer is a TOOL. Buy the most reliable tool you can get (the heck with the cost!) and all you ever worry about from that day on is the JOB, not the tool!
