>but Dell would laugh at you if you called up wanting help with it. >Apple's just making a move that is necessary (in its opinion) to >move forward. Yep! All true, but it doesn't make me or a lot of people feel good :-) I'm just trying to figure out why my father's 3 year old DELL is so much faster than my 1 year old TiBook. It just smokes it. I personally think the music world will not fully recover from OS 9 essentially being gone from the Macintosh world (for music). There are simply too many applications that will be gone. Even if it does, it will be a long while before we get the performance and functionality we have now. Meanwhile - there's a TON of Windows music software! Wow. I'm evaluating how well PC Laptops work in real-life as compared to my TiBook.
