Ok, that's good.
Thank you Danny, and trust me, I already knew RV was a tad bit aggressive. I think he's seen the worst side of the more obsessive apple fanboys/fangirls...
HOWEVER, I'm still somewhat curious about Linux. I'm still taking his suggestion into consideration in the interest of fairness...
Though seriously, the more I hear about it(not just from you) the more awesome Mac seems. ...and I AM interested in composing. Sort of. I'm more interested in Flash development. Man, it's pretty expensive though. Still less than my Media Center I think, cause from my recollection it was OVER TWO THOUUUSSSAAAAANNDDDDDDDD!!!
Oh, and I'm going to send that info on Parralels/VMware and Game Maker programs to a friend of mine who uses a mac. He's dissapointed that he can't play this awesome game maker game on BZPower.
There's one more thing I need to ask about it now. You've used Windows a lot before you used a Mac amirite? What's it like adjusting to the new OS?
