No, Bobby. I did not treat your opinions as less than reasonable, but I did try to explain to you how your own perceptions about the systems might have been flawed by biases that every human being experiences. As for what should have been enough, you are the one who made the conversation less civil and you were free to stop participating at any time. > > I know that you have a propensity to overstate your views, but > I took umbrage at this attitude regarding mine. I'm sorry, Bobby, but your defensiveness invented an attitude I never held. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg>

What's useful about them even for experienced musicians is that it lets you quickly create the parts of the music that are less important to the the musician in question. In short, you can build yourself a basic rhythm section on top of which you can build a song and then you can go back and replace the basic looped rhythm with something better later. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg>

My attitude is directed at Microsoft and Windows. What an odd response from you, Bobby. You are the guy who has, on occasion, reminded people like Rob Hamilton, after they would whine about people arguing with them, that posting one's opinion on the internet INVITES DEBATE. I guess that rule doesn't apply to you, huh? When someone disagrees with you, they can't express an opposing view? Is that it? I mean, do we have to take a poll to find out how many here believe that you "take umbrage" whenever someone disagrees with you? This isn't a new phenomenon. I love ya, Bobby, but honestly, you'd have to read something into my comments that just wasn't there to come away with the belief that I was attacking YOU. My expressed opinions in this thread have been about Microsoft and Windows, and what I perceive to be their inherant inferiority to Apple and OS X. I'm not alone in that view. You can huff and puff all you want, but it's not going to change my views. I've already been dragged over the hot coals as a Windows user, so I know what it offers. You, on the other hand, refuse to even try a Mac. Fine. That's your perogative. But judging Mac from the vantage point of someone who refuses to use one does not provide you with the most knowledgable perspective on the subject. Randy
