bodies computer that works as it should.
like i said apple only made my particular model for one month as a
pretest for the G5 (they brought out the g5 2 days after i got the
g4). the chipset in my rig is different from all the other g4s
produced hence the osx only boot. with there were so many
compatibility issues with it, that it took nearly 18 months before it
would run for a couple of hours without crashing. instead of giving
me a new computer apple wanted to recreate my entire studio to suss
out the problem...well..my business died; i lost all my clients and
(to me) a ton of money, about $67,000.00.
i'll be the first to admit it's my fault for deciding to make a major
shift in how my studio ran from a console/paris/pc one to a itb mac
based.
i haven't tried tiger as of yet though some friends have and seem to
be more or less happy with it. the one major reason for not at the
moment is my quasi/partner scott. it seems that between the two
upgrades Dp and tiger, none of the edits or most of the plugins are no
longer compatible; it would take waaaay to much effort to redo all the
mixes. consequently, those that we experimented with will no longer
load into the previous versions of either...yeay.

That's probably about to change. Apple records is plenty unhappy with iTUNES
and jobs promised not to reenter the music market (stupid, but I digress)
years ago. I haven't kept up like I should with it, simply put it's not that
relevant to me, but perhaps somebody here knows the current on that.
