Hey, I am not the one into social standards!

I freely admit that a MAC can do anything a PC can do ... the PC can
just do it faster, cheaper and usually better ...

Really? Better in what way? Give a concrete example...


Snap in a high end NVIDIA or ATI card into our PC with a high res HD
monitor, sit in next to a MAC ... you will see what I mean ... do the
same with audio ...

You mean, like this:

And with audio, do you mean like this:

http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/ProFireLightbridge.html

Or this:

http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Delta1010.html

Or perhaps this:

No plug your SDR amateur rig into the USB port of your PC and start
using it ... notice that there is no software available for the MAC ...
linux is covered with an app, etc., etc., etc.

Really? No software at all, huh?

You keep putting words in my mouth, seems like I said a PC can do it
better ... that was the part you choose to dispute, not the faster,
cheaper ... or the fact that PC stays current with uptodate
software/codecs/drivers/hardware/firmware ...

I asked how it did it better and you responded with things that
(apparently) you thought you couldn't do with a Mac.


Got a comparison to this card for the PC:

I don't need one.


Good thing too ... as you will have to "not need a lot of things" when
running a MAC! Superior video is just one of them ... if you play video
games, you can forget the ones which have no MAC version ...

LOL

And now it comes out: what you want "superior video" for is...

....video games!
