One of the biggest PC DAW advocates in town just bought a Macbook and an
iPhone; he was on the phone to me completely stoked this morning, he was so
excited about the new adventure. On the flip side, me - a Mac guy since '91
- I'll be leaning on him (and the community here) heavily when I set up my
first XP-based PARIS rig. It's all over, we can all have the tools we need
now, it's just a matter of choices - and all the choices are good ones.
The only part that really disturbs me is we don't have any good excuses left
if we can't make music with these tools... :D
