<heh> And don't we all love those small foot-print applications
that require a heap load of other apps and libs to run. And the server
that holds that last needed lib just doesn't come up for you? for weeks...

I have yet to see any type of computer system used by any act or
group... Oh wait a minute... I take that back... I did see an act that
used a computer as a teleprompter...

Most people are too lazy (or busy) to change once they've learned to do
adequately what they need to do. They'll change if they must - e.g., their
old computer died, they got a new computer with different software on it. But
they're generally not going to change on their own, even if the software is
free, better and easy to use. Look how many people still use Internet
Explorer, even with other, better and more secure browsers a simple download
away?
Also, how many professional musicians use PC hardware in performance? The
only ones I've been close enough to see on stage (Al Dimeola, for instance)
use Mac.
