[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1065759, member: 59143"] Whaddia think this is, the Chip Chiperson show or somethin' ? Tethss ss ss... (never mind if you don't get the reference) That said, the iMac would be great but I still wouldn't rule out an MacBook Pro on account of it being a totally different tool than the iPad. Sure, they're both mobile computers, but the MBP is pretty much like having an iMac which can travel with you. I've got two of them, and when my main one isn't mobile, it's hooked up to an external monitor doing desk duty. In fact, It's doing so right now as I type this post with my bluetooth keyboard. I'm not sure, but, I think you might be able to run a higher spec'd machine in a desktop vs. the MBP, so in that respect, an iMac may prove to be the more powerful machine. Though, I know plenty of people whom run professional audio rigs with their MBP's. I also think it would be an advantage to have both an MBP and iPad with you in that you'll be able to sync data across them more readily when you travel. As far as back up goes, any high capacity external HD will do. I keep all of my music and photos on a main external drive, which I usually run from my wireless network (using the Airport Extreme) and also back THAT external HD up on yet another external HD, which is actually portable. I'll sync the data from one to the other every other week or as needed. Either way though, you can't go wrong. Doug [/QUOTE]
