So why do most musicains prefer macs, and I know quite a few.

Even Brian Eno who wrote the MS windows startup chime on a Mac.

We must know different musicians.

I thought most knew the name brian Eno, as most know then name Mozart



The musicians I know use recording features, rather than synthesis. One
could dispute whether that old startup sound actually amounted to music.

He was asked to compose the startup sound because the original 3.1 sound was crap which no one really liked.

SO yes it was a musical sound before he had to restrict it to what PCs could produce. The startup sound did change and improve with later versions of the OS, but Brian Eno used a Mac on the original


Educate yourself for once

Grandson (1yo) has just been sick all over son's MacBook Air, I'm told..
I wonder what that will take or cost to rescue?

Why has he got a macbook air when he could have a PC laptop have you
thought to ask or arks anyone why they buy a Mac.

I've asked him. It's because he travels a lot in the UK and
internationally and it is light and does what he wants.

So he clould find a PC laptop that did exactly the same ?
Why was that ?

Also he can
afford it. I couldn't,

That's yuor problem and that is the key here given the choice Macs do get chosen in general.

but I want my laptop to do more than his can do,
rather than being thin and pretty.

So what can you're laptop do that he's air can't.


His MacBook Air seems to have survived the vomit, so that's one up to
that, but he was worried about the cost of a replacement keyboard.

When people have things that are woirth mor ethen they tend to worry more
do you not understand that ?
Perhaps you don't give a **** about your laptop because for the price of a few cups of coffee and a cake you can get a brand new PC laptop.

My friend was very worried about his Mac book pro in thialand when it fell off the rickshaw and got runn over by the motorized richshaw directly behind, it buckled the aluminium case leavign a sharp edge but it still worked, I doubt some plastic **** would have survived.





Perhaps yuo should ask car drivers why they choose their car as aren't
the all the same pretty much anyway.

I gave him a lift to the station just now in the 15yo Rangie,

they are cheap are they there are plenty of cars that can do 70 and above that are far better value.

which I
got for towing the 3 ton boat.

Few want to do that.

He thinks he wants the equivalent 4x4
Porsche for about the same price.

I didn't think porsche made tow trucks.


He started, after I said it might be
today that my gearbox dies, telling me about how Porsche engines just go
bang (he knows several Porsche owners) when the coating on the pistons
dies. He has no material need for a big 4x4.

Few do, but whay are those chelsea tractors so popular when so few need them ?
