No argument on any point you made, Bob. I can only say from experience that making multichannel, low-latency streaming audio work on the machines while running Windows has been a significant challenge; at least for me. I don't question that MatLab and any number of heavy-hitter Windows apps ru

Jack, The iMacs are not standard PCs due to the way that Apple forces the BIOS to be set up to try to keep OS X from being run on "industry standard" hardware. If only Steve Jobs years ago would have just let go of the Apple proprietary firmware code, we would all be running MACs or at l
