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.

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!)

Norton which I can't reload. Grisoft AVG7 loaded and found some ad-ware, for all
sorts of sites which I don't vist on the PC . Honest, I've
an old Mac for that!
The XP help has gone, and Explorer is slow, though the appli (sorry) programs
seem to work ok. The Modem and fax are also knobbled (wizard shows greyed out
option on Network set-up). The Broadband set-up again ok though.
I'm going to reload XP, and if still no joy I've been given killdisk.
The Macs are still runnng fine
K, I tried Logic on the G4 400 and it worked smoothly. No sluggishness at all.
Perhaps the one button takes a bit of getting used to - it's what you're familiar with I
suppose.

I didn't know there were such problems with IE (I only use it cos its free, not out of
mis-placed loyalty to old Bill). I'll take your advice and find the progs mentioned.
Trouble is, I supplement the earning from three afternoons of music teaching by
designing web-sites with the missus. Even Safari (e-mac) requires fiddling with to
display a site as intended. Netscape renders sites differently again. I wonder how
Mozilla will do? Is IE still the most common? Or is there nothing in it these days?
Seems the gist of what you're all saying is don't surf with the music machine.
What a sad world we sit in. A bloke at work has offered an old PC for surfing, so I'll
set that up, install the AV etc stuff, check the backup cds for nasties, then I can
continue with the noises.
dARKSTATe, what's wrong with SP2? I've not even seen it yet. I've just updated
from 98 to Xp at work, so I've no intention of going through that again if at all
possible. But should the bloke in a white coat appear with a disk, what rational
reason can I give him to send him away without upgrading the os? Oh, and I hope
'flatten the box' was figurative
I've downloaded the videos for installing xp, which are a great idea if a little out of
focus. For folkes like me who balk at words like BIOS its really useful to be able to
see the screen as the install happens. No jargon needed. A big thanks to whoever
took the time to do that
Message 30/36 20-Aug-04 @ 02:14 PM - RE: Macs! What are they again??
Our statistics show that we're at about 92% IE, 5% Netscape, and the rest is a mishmash of Mozilla, Opera, Safari, and others I've not heard of before
Usually we concentrate on building things that functino fully in Netscape, but are designed for the best experience under IE. It all depends on what you're trying to deliver though. I'd approach design very differently for a web application as I would a band's website.

As for SP2 - there are meant to be a LOT of fixes to security in this build. So many changes in fact, that in many circles its almost being referred to as WinXP2..
However, as with ANY major O/S upgrade you can bet your bottom dollar that NO compatibility or stability testing was done with us music bods in mind. The old "test of time" has kind of shown XP SP1 (plus hotfixes) to be ok for us musos and if it ain't broke.....

I use both here
G5 - Sequencing/Recording on Protools with 16 outs going to desk (002/Ai3) and another 8 outs to desk from 1010 card on PC running Vstack for vstis.
They sit beside each other nicely without a scuffle
