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

[David Lennick]

I wouldn't be without a cellphone, especially since it provides an alternate 
number which engagers have (and I get texted for work as often as I get 
e-mailed). It also takes better photos than my digital camera. Free with my 
cellphone plan and it can be upgraded every couple of years.

Back to macs and PCs for music purposes..for the project I'm doing for one 
company, I'm using an Apple laptop which they provided. Evidently it does the 
job. It's taken me about a year to get used to using it.
