I was quite upset to find my new G5 was not compatible with my £20k recording studio. Ive been using mac for about 6-7 years. Now at the point where I have a band and 16 songs to record, I find:
a. the PCI card that connects to the 24 in out inteface, doesnt fit in the new g5!!
b. The 8 in 8out midi interface cant connect, cause theres no serial.
To fix the problem, its gonna cost my about £500 !! in extra stuff.
Now I undersatnd that sometimes to move on in technology, we have to leave somethings behind, but....
This is a £1500 computer, larger than my first mac and larger than my first 486!!!! Theres enough room in there to add an old pci slot or converter and a serial - usb adapter of some sort.
Im not impressed where apples heading. Years ago, apple was cool, slighly underground, now they are main stream commercial profit makers, with no regard to existing users.
