You sound like a man after own heart. Anecdotes and faith are so compelling to evangelical believers (this DAW sounds better than that DAW, anyone?) but stop dead at the brick wall of unambiguous, science based scepticism.
I really don’t care for the MAC v PC war. It’s pointless. Use what you want, I don’t care, it’s your money. But if you want to convince me, or anyone else for that matter, that the MAC is in any way superior to a well built PC, don’t tell me stories… show me well documented, peer reviewed, double blind tested evidence. Then I will listen.
