Star MacOSX Week: Tales of a BeOS Refugee
Linked by Scot Hacker on Mon 17th Dec 2001 17:34 UTC
Features, Office The story of how a BeOS refugee (and not just everyone, but the author of the 'BeOS Bible' book) lost faith in the future of computing, resigned himself to Windows but found himself bored silly, tore out half his hair at the helm of a Linux box, then rediscovered the joy of computing in MacOSX. Scot Hacker will describe his personal adventures with today's operating systems after he was set out to find an alternative to his beloved (but with no apparent future) BeOS. Update: Make sure you read the second part of the article, a rebutal, found here.

I just wanted to point out to madcow about Mac OS X core audio capabilities.
Almost zero latency. Doug Wyatt is (was) coding midi right into the OS, the new audio and sequencing apps will all use the midi layer, all your intstruments will show automaticly.Just awesome stuff. When Cubase,Motu, Nuendo get their apps into X, it'll be sweet.

Now if your talking soundblaster just for audio input, I hear you there. The mini plug is lacking ,but you can put soundblaster into the G4 also.
OR, mLan will do audio over firewire.Motu has an X 'box' out there already.
The Audio aspect of X is very exciting.
