yeah - i guess so.after doing sysadmin duties lately on win7/8 i can say that it is the first time i've ever ACTIVELY disliked an operating system- it's just finicky,bloated and...borderline hostile... i had decided a while back that the next computer would be mac or linux based due to the type of sound cards i use and the box i built 4 or 5 years ago was gettin' tired, to say the least ( i couldn't reboot it without the firewire chipset freaking out - it had turned into this "hop on one foot,pat your head,hit the power button and pray" kind of thing
)at any rate, osx being unix based, i can still run term commands when needed,my sound card runs natively with it and we had a couple of iPads and phones floating around and they all do work nicely together. I'm not sure that i'd pay for a pro level mac but the mini is tiny,cheap-ish and so far does everything i need with a couple of external drives.
long story short - we'll see...
i picked up a little base model mini - it's tiny. not much bigger than my router, actually.
I thought about trying one of those. My wife wants to go apple next time. I'm not sure. I can fix a pc but never worked on a Mac.
hardware wise, they're just pc components running an os that's akin to linux now. since they went to intel chips they're a lot less weird inside and the os does stay out of the way a lot more than recent windows iterations
to be fair, they did seem to tweak the os where it really needed it to make it user friendly- my main gripe with linux has always been having to work in the terminal to get it to function correctly (trying to remember command syntax in the middle of recording sessions is a deal breaker).
all that being said, the mac hardware replacements do need to be from their approved components/vendor list to be driver supported and they are generally more expensive than bottom of the barrel "windows" components.
the best thing you could do (short of building a hackintosh) would be to dig an old pc out of the closet and throw one of the "desktop" linux variants on it and just play with it for a few days.Most are free,work on aging hardware and tend to be stable.This would give you a pretty close approximation of the way a mac feels and works ("elementary" is free and especially mac-like: Home | elementary OS ).
toying with operating systems is about as interesting as watching paint dry but, it takes a couple of days to get used to the way things work on any os and playing with linux would at least familiarize you with the concepts before you drop the dough on a mac.
For people that don't want to fiddle with computery things, mac's ecosystem is hard to beat in the useability department and the hardware seems to last for a long time (i've got a g4 and g5 both here that are >10 years old and still work well).

vaping VS DIY and really starting to wonder how wise it is for me to continue participation on this forum.
The enabling around this place is gettin' out of hand.
I read about and investigate ceramic fiber wicks, am sold on the concept and try the ReadyXWick and I'm so blowed away wit it now I want a Reo and now the distinguished gentleman from Tennessee is close to convincing me to replace me worn out PC with an Apple?!
Out of hand I tells ya, simply out of hand!!

hahahahahahaha.i think there's something to be said for not having to worry about things you use every day breaking down constantly and if they're aesthetically pleasing it's just a huge bonus
reos,provaris,macs,jeeps,old bunn coffee pots,telecasters and pre-76 sunn amplifiers all fall into those categories.
just do it,otd.
DO it....
maury finkel says so.
I really like my iPhone and iPad and my daughter has a MacBook Air she gets from school. We decided we're going to buy her a 13" air for graduation so she'll have something she's used to using to take to college.
iPhones are like the gateway drug. It's all downhill from there
We both liked our phones and iPads and I got elected to be the guinea pig for the desktop. The mrs has a birthday between now and Christmas and I'm betting she's gonna be wanting a mini by then.she actually almost never uses her desktop - there's some finance software on there she still uses but everything else has been replaced with various applications on her ipad.
And to be on topic, I'm rolling right down the Tobacco Road today...
I'm well on my way toward the bottom of a bottle of bright leaf. I've been keeping GI Joe in the nautilus mini and it has killer TH at 9 watts.
man,even with all this rebuildable stuff here, it's ridiculous how much i use those little nautilus tanks. i always hated cartos too - these little things just work so well with everything and are so hassle free,it's hard to fault em for much.
hmmm....
that must be one of those new aroma flavors i haven't seen yet.Mschris must be holding out on us!!!!

I don't think so gutter.
Xena in case you didn't notice, you're posting in the Aromaejuice forum.
