[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]I enjoy Apple's marketing efforts.[/font][/quote]

[quote=Austruck]Ehh, I dunno. I think Macs are overrated for the money you have to spend. I had to work with Macs for years in a publishing office. They crashed. They had issues. They were slow sometimes. Add on the fewer pieces of software available, the proprietary elements, and the price? Well, for my own self, I'll stick with the PC world, which I've been swimming in probably nearly as long as you've been alive, if not more. :) 

If someone is a tech idiot diving into computers for the first time, a Mac might make sense. MIGHT. But even my techno-phobic mom and dad have had PCs for years now. The sort of issues they've had could have been Mac issues (mostly connectivity to the internet, which ended up being Comcast issues). 

Different strokes for different folks. I don't go out of my way to bash Macs, but I just don't see the appeal for all that extra money. I only ever had one PC that was a joke -- and that was because I made the mistake of buying a "gamer PC." Never again. :D :D[/quote]

[quote=ynwtf][quote=John McClane]I dunno how it’s going to handle Logic, though. I’m hesitant to buy it.[/quote]

Presonus Studio One has a 30-day demo. Their DAW software is all 50% off atm for a few days still. Studio One Pro and Artist (pro light?) Are $200 and $50, respectively. Just fyi.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Like I finally get all the things that were said to me when I shit talked them. I have had zero crashes in GarageBand on a 10 year machine. It just works. Slowly, but it works.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Straight out of the box it’s far more capable as a production machine.

Still. I’d stay far away from these new MacBooks.

But if you want one Amazon has this years best sale going on for the 2017 and 2019 MacBook Air.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]As someone who used to not understand why people bought Macs it now kinda pisses me off when people shit on Macs for no real reason other than it’s expensive.

I’ve seen the light. Doesn’t mean I’m going to buy a new one, though. But I can see why you would want to but I’m not like these other idiots out here bashing because I’m poor.[/quote]

[quote=Austruck]Seds... did you know "Weird Al" wrote a metal style parody (meaning it's not a parody of a direct song, just a style)? Here's a link to "Young, Dumb and Ugly":

[quote=John McClane][quote=doubledenim][quote=Sedai]Not being dismissive, just joking around with you. I am actually also a huge fan of Tool, and have seem them almost as many times as Rush. Rush definitely has a few missteps, that's for sure. Every band does, really. 

Hopefully you know not to take me too seriously, yea?[/quote]


[font=century gothic]Good deal. I always appreciated Rush, they were just never my thing.[/font][/quote]

I can dig it. many can't get past Mr. Lee's voice, and I can see why. Oddly, Rush is my wife's favorite band, too. When we went to see them, the ratio of men to women at the show was about 50/1. Yikes![/quote]
