arguing the point is just reinforcing the already childish attitudes of a % of mac users.

get over yourselves already... great, you have a piece of shiney white plastic that runs slightly differantly than a pc but produces exactly the same results in the end.. big gold star for all the mac fan boys

I'm not arguing anything ....

Just presenting research

Well... i made a hit record on a crappy 1000 quid workstation made by yamaha and it went worldwide - so both pc and mac users can go whistle ;P - but mac users spend more time slagging PC users because PC users are such great problem solvers and use their brains more.

MAC = easy life / no brainer / no use of brain / use it or lose it.

I vote Atari ST.

I sold a Mac to stevie windwood once and he never made another good record - there's your proof.

More to the point, it can take any kit to produce - mac/pc/atari/amiga/workstation/etc...

And i think the worse gear you have makes you squeeze every last ounce to get quality and get really sharp with creative solutions to weird problems.

I did write the Binary track - many years back now, it was shocking that something that such an effect came from a workstation so cheap, the irony is that with a subsequent remix was produced in Reason (even cheaper) and pays for itself each month - limited resources squeeze the creative side for sure.

On a side note, i can announce that the track is going to re-released with multiple remixes by a *large* European DJ - and one of my mixes hopefully will make it into the bundle - i've spent about 2 years working on it - it's not a 'full on trance' thing but a nice piece of dance to entertain while people jump around like loonies

The Binary thing really went quiet for many reasons, so i've been producing on the quiet and setting up a label now, possibly going into full on digital distribution as soon as i get a decent contract made - i can't believe that mp3 distribution is basically 'free' and am working to make an automatic site to enable people to get into this - more so i can have a slick process in house for sending out the material... i'm aware that people are paying to do this sort of thing when it should be low cost / free.

I'll post details if anything fun happens

You sound so bitter, maybe you should treat yourself to a Mac
