Just a little reminder: The only real obsticle to getting a native Pd-
extended build is for someone with an Intel Mac to run the build on
their machine. I don't think it will be too bad.

Having bought a Macbook when they just came out, I would say that if you're sick of headaches, don't get an intel mac just yet. If you can wait, I'd say wait until pd-extended gets built for intel macs and then go ahead and buy one.
But buying a ppc mac now will be buying something's that's going to be deprecated real fast.

I'm thoroughly sick of pd's instability around MIDI and video on
Windows (I wanted to do my gig this coming tuesday with PD but MIDI using my nice new MIDI controller makes pd crash - which really isn't cool
as I'm playing with a band...)And I'm also thoroughly sick of trying to make Linux work on my PC laptop. It doesn't, and I don't have the patience to make it.
So I'm going to switch to a mac system, sooner rather than later I
think (giving me, among other things, a switching power supply that doesn't make the entire audio rig buzz like an angry bumblebee whenever I
play a gig and forget to bring my DI's, plus the ability to run Steim's
LiSa, and the ability to pretend that I'm more creative just because I
own an Apple product...).So my question is: what does the combination of Jack and PD and an external USB soundcard look like on a MacIntel? In the short term, should I get a MacIntel or a PowerPC? How about the long term?
thanks :-)
