i agree, i like it. (just voicing my opinion.) agreed, it has a bit of
dumbing down for civilian use, but the dumb apple apps actually work
(like the "iLife" stuff, that comes with the OS when you buy it. i have
been using imovie lately... i admit it..)
plus i would like to state that os x's unix underpinning, combined with
Supercollider moving to the unix platform are what made me start being
interested in and using linux to begin with, 2 years ago!

like i mentioned, i run SC on both platforms. and max/msp and pd. i
would like to run freqtweak on os x, but can't seem to get it to find
jack during the config...
anybody? i guess this belongs on a separate list...
