I'll tell you what though: upgrading to a 22" monitor rocks -- great definition, & very easy to read!Big%20smile

Just looked at the local Mac dealer's price list, and I'll just say this - the occasional (minor) trouble with a PC is well worth the money saved - yikes!

I'm afraid Max Matthews isn't the founder of either MAX or MSP - the software he wrote (MUSIC) was originally written in the '50s and hence predates Macs by a good twenty five years!

Miller Puckette did indeed originally write MAX for the Macintosh (which makes it all the more surprising that I've never seen a single crash on Windows!), but most of its later developments such as FTS and MSP were written for UNIX systems in the years before Macs moved over to a Mach kernel.

Pd (perhaps the software he's most heavily involved in these days, but I couldn't be sure), upon which MSP is largely based, was open source from the start and thus ported to most modern operating systems.

However, all of this is rather off-topic since Peter has a computer he's happy with Smile
