I just converted my dell to a leopard. Very cool stuff - Next step is midi turntables. Anyone here running mac for their mobile DJ bidness?

I'll be buying a macbook in the next week or so anyway, but I wanted to try before I buy, and this setup seems to work well for me.

I would consider a smart arsed Vista comment, but I have to say for the most part that Vista is doing pretty well on my newest PCs.

I havent had any gripes with vista yet. I just know and love the mac os preferred to MS operating systems..

No need to completely convert to mac from your vista box.. Run dual boot on separate drives. I have my IDE drive running windows and SATA running leopard.

Just went to Pittsburgh last night to pick up my macbook. Loves it.

My latest box (Project Spare Parts) has a number of SATA drives in it and I can go into the BIOS and select the OS of Choice. It is pretty neat to flip Between Vista, Server 2008, and Ubuntu. The is the second PC I have done like this.

And I laugh when the folks in my employers IT group send out emails how their 3 TB servers are running out of space when I have 5 TB of space between to desktop PCs and portable hard drives. Amazing how cheap storage is nowadays.

..and it's easy enough to add a RAID.. They have USB RAID boxes now.
