What's all this discussion about McIntosh?
The latest models are capable of running both OS X and Windows XP, so what's not to like?
Why are you guys talking about driving speakers with a McIntosh? Even my "workhorse" tower Mac (forget the laptop) could not possibly drive big speakers.
(Return to reality here :^).
By the way, I walked into the McIntosh booth at CES and after listening to their system, the representative ask what I thought. I replied (with a smile on my face), "You guys have great sound and I really admire your computers too."
The guy got really pissed, nearly threw me out of the room! Any company so full of themselves and showing such a shallow sense of humor does not deserve my respect.
The funny thing is, I was the sales manager of a high end store that was the highest volume McIntosh dealer in a five state area. Odd that he gets so haughty, I was peddling Mc gear (probably) before was even out of high school.
No wonder high end audio is in trouble.
