Been there, done that.

There's no doubt that it would be politically suicidal for the Canadians to
have a health system that doesn't meet the needs of the majority. Yes, the
people who come to the US are exceptions, but this only points out the
problems involved with putting a government bureaucracy in charge of a
critical industry. Ironically, about as close as we get in the US to the
Canadian Health system is probably the HMOs, and even the private
bureaucracies have problems like this.

There are a lot of fundamental problems with health care, and nobody has
what you would really call an optimal system. Health care is ultimately
about pain and mortality, which makes it a very emotional discussion. There
is a even a profound grotesque lexical problem where we call a payment plan
"insurance". The inherent ethical and moral problems end up divorcing the
business of paying for services from the highly emotional act of demanding
and providing services.

This turns out to be a matter of cause and effect. Since the Canadians
legislated themselves a heavy discount, the US consumers end up paying for
it.

Yes, it does *sound* logical. And, if the Mac software *was* actually
"better", then there might be something to talk about. However, it's
really not any better. In some cases, it's not as good, and in many cases,
it's pretty much the same.

For audio recording and editing on a professional level, the advantage of
one system over the other depends on the requirements of the overall
system. As in most things, there is no "one size fits all" solution. The
bottom line is that the classic rule of purchasing a computer is still
valid after all these decades: pick your applications, then pick the
platform that supports them best. If you are unqualified to do this, hire
a consultant. If you're unqualified to configure a stable system, hire
someone who is.

I don't think they are. I think at the beginning, they probably were, but
now I think is just all that Mac "Hype" going around like their ipod &
itunes hype. I use PCs with Intel chipsets because it makes more sence to
me.
