Anyway, if your computer sur only doing midi stuf (because you would have a sampler), you can get a G3. If you go all software it's another thing tho.

I can't find any G3's anywhere. They said that they don't sell thoses computers anymore.

imacs are g3.... I would suggest if you are ready to pay for a desktop G4, get a ibook. If you got to make music on the move sometimes a desktop computer is really a pain in the ass.

??What the..............?
Isn't imac a G4 as well. An imac costs more than a G4.

mcrob; you are right now imac are g4. I was thinking about ibook, I guess. But they surely doesn't cost as mush as desktop g4.
Some guy; I think it beside the point. I don't like working on PC. I like macs. Some people like mpc or hardware to make thier music. I would say like the guy from malibu's most wanted "don't be hatin'!"

Hey,
Do any of you remember when the beige G3 first came out in '98? Those things were FAAASSSSTTT!!!!!!! And 'only' $2400 for students, they were probably close to $3000 for the normal public. They ran the new OS8 (the Mac parallel to Win98)
Then the green towers came out a few months later, those were even better. They eventually ran OS9, which was a bad ass operating system once they got their bugs ironed out.
Now they've got G4's and dual-G4's, OSX.2, and a bunch of other neat stuff.
Do you realise that in 3 years people are going to laugh at the G4 and call them 'ancient and slow'? Don't fall into that trap...choose the software that you want to use, then build your machine around it. And stick with it for a while before going out to buy another machine or another piece of software.
When people come to my studio, no one ever laughs at my 'ancient and slow' PIII 866 with 256mb RAM, because it is a smoking machine that plays awesome music...
Take care,
Nick

Yo dawg I never mentioned that I wanted to get a G3 or a IMAc, I said that I wanted to get a G4. I also heard that the upgrading system is not as fast as the pc for example I bought a pc 3 years ago and it was wicked now it's almost a dinosaur! Beside MACS are a mulitimedia hardware and I like how it works.

Hey,
Mcrob: you have been brainwashed by Apple telling you that 'Macs are multimedia machines'.
http://www.apple.com/switch/
Their retarded 'Switch' campaigns practically declare that:
1. Apple invented the computer.
2. Apple invented music.
3. Apple invented movies.
4. Apple invented photography.
5. Apple invented cd's.
6. Apple invented dvd's.
7. Apple invented the internet.
Some of the blatant 'untruths' that they hint at:
1. You need a Master's degree in computer science to use a PC.
2. PC's never ever work. Ever. In fact, they were designed from the ground up to NOT work.
3. Macs never ever crash. Ever. Because it is physically impossible for the Mac to crash.
4. You can run a multinational business from an imac. You can also run governments from an imac. It's just so easy!
5. The Mac will get you laid.
6. You can run as many instances of Final Cut, Photoshop, Logic, Illustrator, imovie, itunes, etc. as you want, all at the same time, and you will never ever notice a hit in performance. Ever.
7. etc...
If there is something that you can do on a Mac, you can just as easily do it on a PC...and vice-versa. Don't go out buying a computer because some loser told you that they're 'multimedia machines', you will get burned.
Also, taking 'what you hear' as a truth is so unintelligent when you're about to drop $1500+ into anything...
However, if you like the way they look, the way the OS operates, the support, the price, and most importantly the software available for it, then get what suits you.

Thats very true and yes I have seen those stupid ads of people switching to a mac for the stupidest reasons, but thats obviously not the reason why I am getting one. I just love the OS, and I like how the programs run on them. The only thing I don't like about the mac is the internet, the windows doesn't maximinze to the whole screen. IF it does then I guess I am wrong but I was never able to do that.
ps. Vitmainman..which cpmputer do you enjoy using for not just music but for personal as well and be honest.
but anyway

Hey,
For personal use it depends on what I'm doing and where I am. I have a pc laptop which I have for 'personal' use, it suits me down to the ground when I want to surf the net or try my hand at programming in Visual C++. This email is being written from a PC.
I prefer to surf the net on the Powerbook though because the keyboard commands to control multiple windows is easier in OSX than in XP, although not having all the functions that the right-button in Windows offers can be a pain.
As for programming, there isn't a Visual C++ for Mac, nor is there Access, so I have to do those on the PC. The Mac has Codewarrior and Filemaker Pro, but these programs are so expensive that I chose to work on the PC for those kinds of things with the cheaper Microsoft softwares.
Office? Excel and Word are IDENTICAL in my opinion. I can do spreadsheets and documents, macros and all, on both machines, and they open/run on both machines as well. Microsoft did a pretty good job making sure that moving between platforms was seamless...
I guess then I use the PC more than the Mac for personal stuff because the software I want to run is available for it. If Microsoft made Access and Visual C++ for Mac, or if the Mac parallels became cheaper I may find myself using it more often for those tasks. For doing Office or internet stuff I really don't care which machine I use, I'll grab whichever one is not occupied or happens to be in the room with me.
Take care,
Nick

Ok fine fine geez! But still I have used a mac and I enjoyed how it works and I am not worried about not having a good time with it for personal use anyways. But I am mostly going to be using it for music recording, making beats, website and graphic design so it's all good. I am not brainwashed but was easily cracked up by those stupids ad of people switching to a mac for the stupidest reason (oh my printer doesn't work i am going to a mac)
