Apple includes generic audio device drivers in OS X which work with some audio interfaces, including some USB ones. There isn't a centralized list of devices with OS X compatibility so you have to ask around. I would of course try Creative first the…

We might get improved audio hardware into Macs now but the thing of it is that no matter what Apple adds on, it won't be correct. I don't need digital out but others will. I need MIDI I/O ports, others won't. An audio in jack is worthless to me, oth…

[quote]Originally posted by Kickaha: Actually, according to the last financial conference call, margins are currently around 27% for hardware. And since consumers are still the *major* factor in Apple's customer base, with 1-2 computers each, th…

[quote]Originally posted by Tulkas: Actually, OS sales aren't that big a peice of Apple's pie, relative to hardware sales. Giving up a few million dollars in OS sales, would make sense long term if it could help generate hardware sales enough to …

In reply to Aquatik: Personally, as someone who is developing digital audio software on OS X, I am extremely enthusiastic about it thanks in no small part to the many APIs Apple has provided. They don't simply supercede those available under OS 9…

I'm on the side of the blinkenlight kids in this case. It would be helpful to me to know CPU usage so I don't overload the processors while doing real time DSP because I can't afford dropouts. Watching hardware limits is critical for real time audio…

[quote]Originally posted by Xaqtly: Point being, constantly bitching about Macs makes no sense, especially here on this board. This board is not a private line to Steve Jobs' ear. If Macs displease you to such a degree, then buy a Wintel and live…

[quote]Originally posted by There is no g5: The fact that the discounts work with other promotions makes this basically a price break, so I think Apple is getting ready for something that will have a depressive effect on Powermac sales..... …

[quote]Originally posted by snoopy: If I were asked to guess, I'd say the the odds are ten to one that it is planned, and Apple will have a Matrox video board on May 14th. I'm not going to go on about the statistics but I'll say that I'd take 10…

[quote]Originally posted by snoopy: The probability of these events occurring on the same day at random can be calculated, and the odds are fairly low. Therefore, a Mac with a Matrox video card is not wild speculation. Also, since servers are un…

It's quite possible that they'll offer a G3 and a G4 version. The G4 doesn't have much to offer normal servers and from SJ's description of features added to the server OS (improved "server" JVM, support for Ruby, python, et al) it sounds like these…
