[78-L] Audio - Mac vs PCs - any advice? (rjh334578gmail)

[David Weiner]

AllI can add to the discussion is that after being a PC person for nearly
20 years I finally went Mac in 2011 and would never go back.  Whatever
good programs I had on PC I was able to find the same or equivalent
program for the Mac with no trouble.
