And in so doing they will finaly shove all creativity off their platform and
onto the Mac where you will have one choice for audio (Logic). And one shoice
for Vid (whatever other company Apple swallowed last year)...Don't do vid,
can't remember tha name.
Anyway, I was happy to be running my rig on PC but the way things are going.
It's all rather bogus anyway. what the frell do they care? why am I forced
into logic on mac? why does bill care if the stream is incriped?
Maybe All the creative industy will port to lynix or qunix of something. SHEESH
