GGPO Apple. More Mac users lost forever. Motorola -> x86 -> OS X -> Intel -> Killing Firewire -> hardware design defects -> every recent iteration of OSX that broke stuff has reduced the userbase.

I suspect that only the non-pro versions will use this.

Apple never should have gotten rid of Woz.

They've always had hardware defects, but since jobs died, they've lost some of his ability to cover it all up and make the customer pay to fix it. I had a G4 laptop for audio work back in early 2000's that had *two* motherboard replacements in two years for the same issue. Both times I was told it was my fault for using it.. wait for it... On my lap. The third time it happened I looked up the issue online and find forums full of people with the same issues, and all told that the replacements needed were their faults, much like when Jobs came out to chastise people for holding their phones wrong when apple clearly made shitty antennas in their phones.. Turns out it was a soldering defect with the video chip in these motherboards, and they just replaced the motherboards with the same defectively soldered motherboards on every single laptop that came in. Supposedly they made more profit replacing the motherboards than they made in profit on each new laptop, and Jobs was complicit in allowing this to go on because of such. I resoldered mine after this, and it worked for another few months until a few keys stopped working on the keyboard. I replaced the keyboard and sold it at a huge loss after that and swore to never use another Apple product ever again. I switched to a PC and used that PC daily for almost 10 years. I'm now on my second recording PC since 2005. |

I'm now on my second recording PC since 2005. I had Macs that fried firewire gear, the GPUs that you had that desoldered themselves (they blamed me for playing 10 year old computer games on a windows partition), optical drives that died in months (blamed me for using it), bad chips that needed entire mother or logic board replacements until Apple Care ran out, cracked plastic, melting magnetic power cables, and finally on my last mac, my firmware got corrupted and I just trashed it. The current Macbooks are totally unrepairable and thermally compromised. They ditched the awful keyboard but the touchbar sucks. My Thinkpads have been beat to shit and are still going.

I said it several times I have my doubts with newer Apple Hardware, as well as Logic and I use Macs since 1998...
