I have a piano with MIDI output, and the cables I need and stuff, but I haven't played around with it in GarageBand yet. Their piano voices sound pretty nice, though.
I've only used Pages a bit (and Keynote even less, and Numbers not at all, though I'm looking forward to trying them out more). I like it so far, but then again, I HATE Word, and I don't need advanced formatting. . all of those gorgeous templates in Pages will be good enough for what I do with WP, and when I need actually page layout, I'll go Adobe. I think that once you're used to wading around in shit, you don't smell it anymore, which is why Microsoft products continue to be popular.  Oh for the most part, I love my mac. It's just with word, the spelling feature, the formatting the features, and the like appear just above highlighted text. As weird as this sounds, because I type so fast, it actually greatly increases my ability to type text. Plus the Office VBA macro language is something I'm largely familiar with. I'm not sure what the mac equivilant is but I guess I'll find out. The benefits I've seen just in the last two days with the mac are: 1) It's sexy 2) the visual effects are stunning. Transitions, transparencies, etc. etc. etc. all look amazing. 3) The extreme ease in which you install programs. It's like you download them and voila, they work. and of course, not having to deal with clunky registry hive. I absolutely HATE the windows registry and couldn't believe that VISTA, after being delayed one billion years, didn't get rid of the need to have it. / [Edited 9/17/07 22:05pm] I got that you love it, and I also understand being accustomed to a set of features.  I don't use those features (except for having spelling checked as a type, which I couldn't live without and is enabled in pretty much every app I use ), but if I were used to having them, I'm sure I'd be hurting without them.
The "it just works" factor, in so many ways, is what keeps me in love with this OS. I did run into a true bug a few days ago (do NOT change a user account "short name" from within the Finder -- it ain't pretty, and the mess is tough to clean up  ) which frustrated me, but then I realized that I feel like that pretty much any time I have to use a Microsoft product.
Something better will come along eventually. I doubt I'll be 80 and using a Mac (I mean, I doubt I'll be using anything that I'd recognize as a computer today, so  ). But for now, they please me.  oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |

ok, two months now, and I still love the macbook.
I think I'll swap over to mac 100% for my desktop and my laptop. This shit rocks. | |
