I don't think that's quite accurate any more...Apple are under investigation
here, (Oz), for faulty ipods, Broken screens, DOA etc, and not honouring the
warranties.
I'm sure they have the same problem in the US.
Also the sound quality is inferior to many of it's competitors, (cheaper
ones at that.)
They just happen to have major marketing hype.
it must work, iPods were the Xmas gift of choice here.
There's going to be a lot of disappointed kids out there.

well.

By that logic, I've been an in-home elder care provider for years, until
the job disappeared, and now I'm a heir. Art and music haven't paid my rent
entirely probably for a decade. But I prefer to think of myself as an artist/musician.
Pride on my part.

As to those pesky computer things, I love 'em all. I'm typing on my old second-hand,
internet-virus-proof iMac, which works just swell. Beside me is my handmade
XP machine, which hums along swimmingly on two monitors. The G4 is waiting
for me to finally get my act together and install Paris in it. When will
it happen? Who knows? So many things seem to intrude.

Jamie and Thad are among my favorite online folk. {I've met Jamie in person,
so I know he's really as mellow as he says. I feel like I"ve met Thad, but
we've only talked online.) They both have forgotten more than I'll ever know.
Dj, too, only he's truly dangerous...!

Meanwhile, Boston was fun - a cold, a crowded schedule, and just plain fear
of the unknown stopped me from contacting Paris folk in the area. Sorry.
I'll try again if there's a next time -

The cat is asleep on my lap.

-steve the jetlaggedThanks Steve. Glad you had fun in Boston and made it home safe and
sound. If you ever come to Colorado you gotta look me up.

Cheers,

Probably in order of expertise I go Windows - Debian - OS X, though Debian
is getting close. That said, when long time OS X only people break their
machines (graphic designers, musicians, civilians) they call me to fix them
and I do. Also, every article I write for Electronic Musician and the books
I wrote I had to check on OS X and Mac compatibility. So I'd guess my OS
X skills would be somewhere above the median for *techs* not users. I don't
think ignorance clears the hurdle as an excuse.

I'm not "stuck in" any era. I deal with these things all the time, maybe
15% of my tech work. And the stock going through the roof has jack to do
with OS X, that's the iPod and there's a lot of future success built in to
the current price.

None of which has anything to do with the original question, which is whether
OS X is or is not hindering the possible performance of the hardware on which
it runs.

Dude, you didn't offend me, dude. However, dude, I don't like being told
I'm passing undigested misinformation around as fact, nor do I like being
called brainwashed (I realize the second part wasn't you). Also, as you probably
have noticed over the years on this NG I'm not a particularly nice person
and don't pretend to be otherwise. That said, I do have a good (though admitedly
dark) sense of humor and am not averse to well founded criticism. Accusing
me of dispensing "urban legend" without even taking the time to google "os
x vs linux G5" does not, in my book, qualify as well founded critique, dude.

Throughout this discussion I have said every single time that linux is not
a good platform for multi-media authoring. This has more to do with the fact
that the software vendors us proprietary file formats and processing than
the underlying OS. If VST ran under linux I'm sure ableton would produce
the most badass version of Live you could imagind that I would run on double
dual core Athlons and be the happiest kid around.

But multi-media had nothing to do with this. OS X runs much slower in *any
highly multi-threaded environment* be that server, workstation, or toaster
oven. Server apps by their nature tend to spawn more threads, but not always.

Saying OS X is better than OS 9 is like saying XP is better than Windows
3.1. I mean, it freaking better be, right?

I never even implied such a thing, even a little bit.

Well, if you wanted to know if OS X is usable for multimedia content creation
we could have saved ourselves a whole lot of time. That isn't what you asked
to begin with. So, I would like to state unequivocally that OS X is a perfec
