I am completly computer impaired, and have a hard time figuring out just about anything on a computer, but i have to say that thos desktop is pretty user friendly, and has some cool programs that it comes with, mainly the recording and mixing program Garageband. The main issues are minimal though, lack of games etc.</p>&#13; <p>As a musician, i was kind of stoked about the recording program Garageband being included on the Mac, and it's actually better than alot of the recording programs i've used before, though the mac's mic is all that great, it serves it's purpose. I've used it to record and overdubs tracks by myself, which is pretty fun considering glitches with other recording software like Audacity, which has alot of lag issues, and Mixcraft which has sound issues, garageband works much better.</p>&#13; <p>The main downside is that there are far less games that...</p>...

Rich Ironbird Electric Guitar, Onyx: </strong>I bought my B.C. Rich Ironbird, the Platinum Version, (not the crappy Bronze Edition they are selling currently) about a year ago, as an upgrade to my cheapo epiphone SG, and at the time i was extremely happy with it. The neck played very well, very slim and played relitivly fat, and after it was set up, i did it personally, it played like a dream. The problem i had, which is on most B.C. Rich guitars, is that it is neck heavy, and if you are an animated performer like i am, you often let go of the guitar to gesture with your hands as part of your performance. Problem here is that if you do with this guitar, the headstock will almost hit the floor! Another problem is the stock BDSM pick-ups are not exactly the best in the world. But, since i only payed $135 out the door from a Pawn Shop, and the thing goes for over $600 MSRP, it definitly was well worth it, and it looks awesome in my opinion. Currently it is my Back-up guitar next to my Les Paul...</p>... Tue, 30 Jun 2009 19:53:25 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/B-C-Rich-Ironbird-Electric-Guitar-Onyx-review-8c563 KKarvox 4
