Your quote.
"I have _never_ seen a PC in a recording studio. I have
visited hundreds in my time. I have lots of personal friends in the
music business in the UK and have yet to see anything other than a
Mac".

And by the way. I could care less what someone uses in their studio. I
have no allegiance to any platform.
