Yeah I started doing music on a pc b/c I could get all this groovey freeware like fast-tracker II and rubberduck, and also didn't have the loot for a mac. Macs are cool as shit tho- I don't know what it is, but all the graphics proggies just *feel* better on a mac.
For me personally, I just have to dedicate my machines for specific uses- studio pc for music ONLY, mac for design only, and this one i'm on right now, hmmm, maybe a giant mp3 and porn storage unit ;-)reformat the drive and it'll be a huge download dumpster.
Oh BTW the way, mac's are just SO much more classy, not like you beige microserfs. straight to influx's head! heh heh, kiddin.

Take no notice of them PC snobs!
I find myself in a similar yet different situation. I just
bought a Mac strictly for music and somehow
Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash have found their way
onto the hard drive.
Actually, come to think of it, I can't even remember why
I bought it. Maybe I just bought it to download porn on
or something?

boy(boy i'm almost 30) I guess i could use the
bigger penis.Then I could get that fab career
in big dix lil chix porn i always
wanted.Considering that a lil contact cleaner
fixed my AGP G4 VGA out,I'm pretty happy w/
my 17" one(monitor that is).Contact cleaner is
good stuff.I don't know about the HD display
but i'm sure the Aston Martin would definitely
make my penis feel bigger.Until I wrapped it
around a tree.The car that is.Fuck i'd be happy
w/ any LCD or a smaller footprint CRT cause
my lunar lander can't seem to find a decent
overbridge.Speaking of penises,(the following
is not for the homophobic)I know this guy who
runs around constantly talking about how
small his penis was.I was like oh yeah that's
something to brag about.Anyway after hearing
about it for the 5 millionth time i had to
ask"exactly how small is it"?Luckily he didn't
whip it out but all the other dudes in the room
said "real small".So apparently he did whip it
out amongst friends.I said if you had to say it
in inches what would it be.he said 2 1/2"
hard.i felt like giving him a whore cause he's
never been laid.But then I thought"I'd probably
get him the wrong gender ho"Well at least
there's a happy ending.He's off to prison for a
few years and so i'm sure he'll be popular
getting to the bottom of things.Sorry bout
that.Just thought i'd share.2 1/2" my god I think
i'd keep that to myself.just thought you'd like a
nice picture.i tried to convince him to auction
off his virginity on the net but he whimped
out.Anyway,let's all hope justin makes it out
alive cause he's a prisoner of the drug
war,and that always sux.
H - Did I write that?

sure if he even knew about DT it would be his
way of introducing himself to us.Nah,I don't
know any freakazoids.You must agree it takes
pretty big balls to run around announcing to
complete strangers that you have the world's
smallest wang.And I'm serious about that.he
goes to drive thrus and promptly after ordering
tells the poor cashier"I have a small
penis".Did I mention that dropping sid is a
ing riot w/ that guy.

penis.Done far too much drugs though so his
brain cells aren't all there.So he hits a mental
block and just blurts out."I have a small
penis"Supersized?i think he just needs to get
some implants(tits) and say he has the
worlds largest clit.I'm sure that he'll either be
the hit of the cell block or the laughing
stock.talk about dissapointing your
cellmate.Scariest thing is he's like 6'07" w/ a
bump.Maybe he has a future as a underoo
model.

Thats funny.. that rich and fugly porn guy..ron jeremy i think... he has an infomercial about a drug tat enlarges penis... funny...
the thing about to lcds is.. if you are into moving graphics, their refresh time is slower then most crts ( crts take couples milliseconds ... the newer LCDs are around 12-14 ms... if I recall corecctly) stuff that doesnt move like webraphics is fine but there is still a recognizable difference when it comes to moving graphics... its getting better on LCD s now but still not quite there.. remember the old laptops? when you move the cursor it will trail behind..like that but now its less recognizeble... there is another technology called OLED (organic light emiiting display) which is very cool but still made in samll quantities ( they just started amking them for cell phones, small screen pcs, etc) the cool thing about them is you can bend them and they dont require a backlight so they are more efficent then LCDs.. you can out them on curved walls, coffee mugs etc. but its gonna be a while till its going to be widely available like lcds..
here is some blurb:
"Toshiba says the new displays, using organic light-emitting diodes, are expected to replace today's common liquid crystal display (LCD) screens because they can provide brighter images at a lower cost.
"At some point in the future, OLEDs will be less expensive, brighter, thinner and provide a better display than LCDs, because they don't require a backlight," Barry Young, an analyst with DisplaySearch in Austin, Texas, told NewsFactor Network.
Organic displays use a material with self-luminous properties, eliminating the requirement for a power-hungry backlight. Backlighting is used in most current LCDs to improve brightness, but it adds costs, weight and thickness.
"The big advantage over current LCDs is that the picture is just as sharp from different angles; there's no big difference, no matter what angle you're viewing it from," Young noted.
Life Spans Limited
Current manufacturing yields for organic displays have been inconsistent and the life spans are short -- about 5,000 hours at present, said Young. "That will improve in the future, but for right now that will limit their use to low-resolution devices such as cell phones and handheld devices," he added.
Young said that the OLED displays will be about 20 percent cheaper than current screens when mass-produced. "They use fewer materials and require fewer manufacturing steps than LCD screens."
While the OLED displays will be cheaper, brighter and give a more readable screen, they won't save much on battery power, Young said. "The active matrix versions will use about the same amount of power as current LCD screens, and the passive matrix will actually use more," he said.
Other Makers Involved
Toshiba is not the only manufacturer pursuing OLED technologies. Others include Sony, Philips Electronics, Sanyo, Kodak, TDK and Samsung.
However, all the OLEDs in use to date are monocolor or area-color and use small molecules in the light-emitting organic film rather than polymers. The implication is that they require vacuum-evaporation technology in the production process, which is unsuitable for mass production.
OLED displays data via an organic light-emitting diode, with the pixels formed on a thin film transistor array. The display itself emits light and has no need of the backlight required by LCDs. "
...
still long ways away..
my point was. i am not payng shitload of money on something because it looks cool... i would like to have a LCD screen not just yet... maybe when the prices drop to CRT level... I can get a 21" flat square CRT for under 300 and thats a quality brand like the sony trinitron or mitsubishi ones..
about cars.. no one would buy an aston martin because it goes fast, because you can race them , Because they are bot good for racing ( seen any aston martins in racing? ) it just shows how fat your wallet is or how small your penis is... 2 1/2 ".. thats amazing.... Mclaren f1 LM thats a whole another story.. but a real drivers car is a lotus elise, fast and agile and kinda affordable..
what this had to do anything with this post.. i dont know.

weight.I'm in america and no bumper/no
airbag = race only.As usual DT spins off into
another world.Well I personally in the US if I
had to drive a car and had mad flow,I would
get a boxster and drop in a 996 mtor w/ all the
Gemballah goodies.It's a perfect example of a
balanced mid engined layout and it's
ashamed you have to take a 996 apart to do
it.But it's a ferrari beater when setup correctly.I
personally like my triumph Speed Four bike
the best because it has that great exotic w/o
the expense bit to it.No plastic,just a Limey
take on a inline 4 w/ user programmable fuel
injection and water cooling.Sure it's not as
fast as a rice rocket but it sure sounds and
feels better.Plus there are only a few pre fire
ones in circulation and I've yet to run across
another.There's something to be said for mid
tuned 600cc 4 strokes in a Jap dominated
country like the US.Plus the torque is just
wicked.I can't wait to beat the pants off the
other provisional novices on their
kawayamahondazukis at the tight curve
ladened Carolina motorsports park and
VIR.Once I start roadracing that machine
there's no looking back.Sure i might go broke
from it but at least I'll have a blast.That LCD
logic makes alot of sense though.CRT it is.
H - I do own a Mac, 2 of them actually so that's
my excuse

auto update.I bought an eMac w/ the G4 700
and installed the Dane hack for realtime fx in
Final Cut pro and lo and behold one
autoupdate later it doesn't work
anymore.Somehow apple thinks I'll buy a dual
867 w/0 the high test PCI slots and the same
ol sys bus speed just so I can get less RT
than I did w/ the hack.hah.Jokes on them I'll
just hack it up in the 450 machine.pissed me

My Cinema display was less than a 1000, because I have some Apple software dev friends who get the monitors for free. So, spank me.
;)
And 23" is good for graphics. Photoshop with a 23" screen ABSOLUTELY FOOKIN' ROCKS. ...Even though I shouldn't be doing graphics on it. Tut tut.
I could buy another monitor at that price. Fookin' HUGE PENIS 46" display, eh?

a used cube for a lil more than a dual 867

add a fan.Plus you'd still be stuck w/ a

Well it's here! I'm typing on it right now!!! It *is* a noisy
little f*cker but like I said, this box is for graphic design
only- my windows music box is down in the studio- and
it's got a NICE quiet fan on it!! I'm sure there's some
quiet 3rd-party-made fans for G4s out there? gotta be...
funny tho b/c I got this thing yesterday, set it up last nite,
and all I got was a fuckin grey screen!!! I messed
around, checked connections inside&out. figured it
prob. needed to be booted off a disc, like you would a
PC. Only I couldn't get the drive to open- not w/ key
commands or paper clip! In true macintosh-user
fashion, I called Apple support this morning and I was
right- just had to reinstall the OS. You hafta hold down
the eject key, not just tap it, to open the drive on start-
up. Quite a common problem I guess; the grey screen. I
can only imagine the apple-support calls, 'HELP!!! My
computer is broken!!" HAH HA HA.
But for real this thing is sick tho. Gotta admit Apple puts
a lot of thought into design, ease-of-use, etc.. very
smooth to use. But how do I turn off this stupid lady's
voice?!!
"It's not my fault, I am just a robot trapped in an
expensive computer" ;-)

can.Apple does make lemons you know.If you
go the service route if it acts up later make
sure the service guy they send out has
actually worked on macs.My 450 G4 had it's
Mboard,Hard Drive,and Modem replaced
because I couldn't return it(small reseller/ex-
"pal")My ATI card acts up to this day.I just
sprayed it w/ contact cleaner and it seems to
be working now.But I paid $2500 for it and
expected a good mac out of box.Mine's good
w/self help now and then.It should stay on the
? mark if it's all good.not trying to freak you out
but return it if you can.
H-it's not the end of the world though.My eMac
has been spot on out of the box.but I damn
sure got it from Comp USA after my previous
experience.
BTW- if my spulling is f'd up i'm druink and I
have big fingers
