Hey David. To answer your following question, why not start using
what you can off the os right away
and when those other apps come along, you'll be further up the curve.
The reason is because 90 percent of what that machine would be used
for is music related. Unfortunately, nothing is accessible,so it
wouldn't be cost effective.

Kevin and all,
I've heard that jaws does not work on an intel mac. I'dd liike to
be rong. Also, why not start using what you can off the os right
away and when those other apps come along, you'll be further up
the curve.

Hey folks. I'm at a turning point in my career where I need to
get some new gear for my road music rig. Right now, Pro
Tools,Logic, and Garage band aren't accessible with Voice Over,
however Gb is more so than the others. What I'm contemplating is
to run Sonar 5with Cake Talking for now so I can have a bunch of
software synths running for my on-stage performances. Also, I
would have a rig goodenough for doing some basic moble recording
that I can fly into my older pro tools rig back home. What I'm
thinking about is getting the fastest Mac Book Pro on the market,
running Bootcamp and putting windows on it and doing it that way.
If in a year and a half or so, if things look up for music
accessibility on the mac side, I can easily move into that
platform without getting another machine. I will be able to
install and run Pro Tools, logic,or whatever on the mac side and
have no problems. What I want to know is does this make sense,
does Jfw work pretty well on the mac with bootcamp? It makes sense
to me because I don't want to buy a PC laptop, when ultimately,I
want a Mac Book because of it's speed and stability. I don't want
to dump money into a machine that runs O S 9, because I can't
expand anymore with the Pro Tools soft synths. Nothing is
compadible anymore with Pro Tools 5. I wantto be able to use the
newest soft synths, and be able to be upgradable, and as oddas it
sounds from a guy who loves Pro Tools, Sonar is the more advanced
dog in the pack right now from an accessibility standpoint. I'd
really love your thoughts on this, as I am looking at drawing up
the loan paperwork very soon. Thanks for any help you can provide.
