Fast ripping of CDs (and storage)

[Werner Berghofer]

Tim,

I build, tinker and experiment with computers […] But you cannot do that with MAC's

no, you can do that too with Macs, but why, what for? Macs are built to create and – yes – consume content in an easy and pleasing way. Are you aware that also in science, research and development Macs are more often used than other computers?

Apple and their 'must have' products IMO have changed human behaviour more than any other modern company and I'm just not comfortable with that

I fully understand what you try to say, and believe me, I share most of your feelings and expressions. But don’t forget: this is valid for Apple’s consumer products, but not for the reliable and valuable media production workhorses Apple successfully is producing since the late 1980’s.

Nobody is being forced to purchase Apple products. Is Apple to blame for people liking and buying their products?

Werner.
