Well I have to say I'm disappointed to say the least. I just bought a 15inch powerbook G4 1.5GHz which was bloody expensive!
I was hearing how amazing macs were from everyone and was really sick of Microsoft PC's crashing, taking ages etc. so I took the plunge and got one.
What swayed me was that I wanted to use it for film and music editing so macs were HIGHLY recommended and supposedly easy and intuitive to use....
Well so far two Camcorders have failed to play in imovies or FCpro, a SONY trv14 and now a Samsung vtr-d55. Both work fine on an old PC.
Just got a new iRIVER H340 mp3 player.......you've guessed it- 4 tortured hours later and I still can't get the bloody thing to work!!! This is also very straight forward on the PC.
I'm now considering selling my mac ( or throwing it out of the window/off a high roof top) and moaning to everyone how crap my powerbook experience was.
Can anyone convince me I shouldn't? Why am I having so many problems?? Are macs only good for super-techies??
Looking forward to the replies!!
