i don't mean to be a snag here - but could someone explain the quest to port PD to the MacOS? especially with such an established community of MaxMSP users - is it the evil twin syndrome or...
i'm someone who has a few Macs lying about and wants to use pd. i'm already using jmax on OSX and pd would be great to have as well. esp. the networking goodies.
Is it that you have an unnegotiably strong affinity with both MacOS and PD, in that you would like to see them conjoined?
um. yes. similar to some who love linux and pd. that's the reason that particular port came about. what's the difference?
eg: what are the advantages other than the noble cause of the open software movement - i mean, considering the history of MaxMSP and PD, a port is a pretty ironic don't you think?
think of it as 'FTS Comes Home' then. the advantage is this: you will be gaining group of experienced Max users who will have lots of new tools to offer pd users.
oh and the port will happen regardless...
