[QUOTE="Dave Stevens, post: 32694, member: 142"] Re: Arg...my laptop died The battery deal was about 4-5 years ago. Long since corrected. It was a Sony issue that also affected Dell and Lenovo. We use three platforms in the show. Ubunto for the console servers, Macs for most of the rest of the creative side (Cue Station clients, Protools, Final Cut Pro, Max/MSP, Smaart Meyer MAPP and Ableton to name a few) and WinXP for other control apps (Matrix 72 com, IAS, IFR remote display, KT, Sierra audio switcher, Meyer RMS, HiQ Net/London, Lab Gruppen Device Control, MIDI Ox, Nuendo, Yamaha Studio Manager, Samsung multi channel DVR recording array, and EAW DX810 to name a few). Prior to our change over each position needed at least two computers to maintain the configs. With Macs we are able to dual boot or emulate whatever platform we need. With Bootcamp it's just like having a Dell, or Sony Wintel machine. Best of both worlds. [/QUOTE]
