I think that today, pro tools and mac are over-rated. PCs have great hardware 
and equivalent processors to mac. I use an RME Audio Interface, and my friend 
uses pro tools digidesign. he loves the sound produced from the RME way more 
than his digidesign and wishes he could use it with his pro tools. I think that 
pcs and macs are comporable today.

  But you do have the exhalent warranty on Apple computers (you can just bring 
them to the store), the actual hardware is way better than most PCs and around 
where I live, if you don't have a Mac with Pro Tools you probably can't get any 
kind of credits for recording in college. 
  Annabelle can you elaborate on how it didn't work? Was the processor slow, 
was it hard to get around or what made it not optimal for your use? And did you 
have both Mac and Windows on the same computer?
  Thanks

  Agreed, Phil. Also, don't forget the headache involved of learning all new 
recording software, and the potential money you'd have to spend on possibly 
getting some training for it; not to mention the probability that companies 
like Freedom Scientific are far better apt to suit the needs of blind clients 
than Apple or Microsoft.

    Hi all.  I know that some of you were commenting that if you purchase a MAC
    then, you won't need to spend $1000 on a screen reader like Jaws.  However,
    keep in mind that when you do purchase that hi end mac that will be required
    to run Pro Tools over a PC then, it's probably going to cost you
    significanly more than $1000 that you would have paid out for your Windows
    screen reader.  Just a thought.

    Also, looked at voiceover recently and although the speech sounds good, it
    was half announcing words when reading E-mail.  Annoying to say the least.
