Good Morning Mr.kenchan

I don't like Windows but I dislike Apple even more At least I have a lot more choices on brands and components when I build a PC but with Apple I have to stuck with their brand and pricing, it's simply not right. Imagine there is only one brand you can choose and one price when buying mods/tools for you Z...

BTW, check your rep, hope you know what I mean about 'that guy'...


My day off today but I am back in the store to do some work.... LOL, I am happy though because it means business is picking up.... help buying parts for my Z in the future.. hahahaaa

I've long since ditched Windows, and Apple, although I recommend Apple over Windows all of the time, even with the higher prices. Personally, I use Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS on my laptop. It's great for 90% of most of the needs of most computer users, and almost all of my needs.

These days, I don't use a desktop much; I use my Android tablet (Asus Transformer Prime) and Android phone (DROID Bionic). Most people don't know it, but all Android devices run on the Linux kernel. That's akin to the engine of a car. The Java runtime then runs on top of that. Heck, my Samsung 55" LED HDTV runs on the Linux kernel. My Xerox printer uses Linux. Linux may not have conquered the desktop, but it's everywhere else, hidden in plain sight. It's in a ton of small, medium, and large embedded devices, all the way up to supercomputers! It's in IBM's Watson!

I've been using traditional Linux on my desktop since 1993. All of Google's search engines run atop of Linux. In fact, most of the world's servers run atop of Linux. An OS should be reliable, efficient, and invisible ... like an engine.

yah, my wife made a trial linux system a while ago on a pc we weren't using and it was fast. i suppose if there are more music production software that runs on linux i would consider that for recording and stuff.

btw, a mac question... i need to get a reliable office software. what is recommended? i currently use LibreOffice (freeware) but the otd file sometimes corrupts non-english language. i need to use doc when i send out my projects and i dont want to run parallel on my MBP... i just dont want to deal with microsoft-infestation on my mac.

Download Pages from the App store, or maybe look at Open Office (free)

I'm not into music production, but software is available for Linux, but I am not familiar with the maturity of each option. If you're comfortable with a Mac, I'm confident that you're fine. However, if you're curious, and adventuresome, check out some music-production-specific Ubuntu-based Linux distributions -- for example, Ubuntu Studio. See Home | Ubuntu Studio. Try it on decent hardware.

Why do you need to use doc when you send out your projects? Does someone else need to edit them? If not, generate PDF, and send that. I don't know of any other solution other than running MS Win and Word in a virtual machine.

mr. alcheng please elaborate on this parts list you are generating in parallel with your sales activities.

'no customer, you need to buy THIS ONE (so that i can buy this for my Z )'

'customer, please nonono not that one, damn, now my Ti plans turned to regular steel... ' <= customer
