From my experience, the Mac's the one that's still working whilst your blanking the
PC's drive due to the latest worm/virus/or general unhelpful meddling.src='images/sad.gif'>

Really? Guess from your experience those PCs weren't particularly well configured, protected or used then...

And I hope it continues to do so.
However mine is infected.
It's true it probably wasn't as secure as it could have been, but then again I'm a
musician who uses a computer - not a technician who makes music. By the same
logic, the Macs were configured to a similar level of competance, yet they're
working fine.
And what's shit about saying PCs get more crap chucked at them than Macs?
Both systems seem to have their good points, but on this issue Macs stand out.
And before some nutter sees that as a challenge, I've no doubt it is possible to
arse up Macs too.
Anyway, it was merely an observation based on personal experience in response
to what seemed to be a humourous jibe. Don't get so touchy folks! Why do people
get so fanatical about this PC/Mac thing anyway? I moved from Atari a couple of
years ago, and by comparison I think both Macs and PCs are excellent.

Whoa an ex-Atari ST user eh?! That explains why you reckon you're a "musician who uses a computer"...

LoL..."..it probably wasn't as secure as it could've been..." coz in all sensibility, ya shouldn't be putting yer music workstation on the 'net where it can catch shit in the first place!!!! (PC OR MAC) but that's just IMO...

Chill out mate, its the WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKEND!!!!

yeah, the amount of attacks for Windows PC's and IE Windows browser is ludicrous... it's a damned shame... but statisticaly mac's are such a minority of total PC users it's not surprising they get less stuff attacking them

I was going to say that. When somebody wants to do damage or just get a kick hearing about their virus in the news they're not going to put the energy toward Mac. Although the last place I worked about 5 years ago our Macs were infected with a virus.

also, remember- most of the people i have met, studios ive been in, where they are running G4/5's they arent connected to the internet where the obvious danger lies.

Whereas your average music maker on pc is using an all in one job for everything, so are open to attack.

I think if people kept there old pc the next time they updateed, and kept it for internet, there new music pc would be fucking wicked as a music only machine!

i mean, no one upgrades for using the internet,. but for more horsepower for there music apps.

Just think, A spanking new AMD/P4 with a fresh xp2000 install, with just SX and a handful of there most used vst/i/s in the bare-naked programme directory! Beaaaaaautiful

(and 100% virus free!)

And people wonder why I seldom complain about PC problems...
