Hi,  I am trolling for more experienced opinions on an old topic, mixing DAWs with the internet.  Work is purchasing a MacBook Pro for audio and video purposes (ProTools and Final Cut) but they are also expecting me to use it for apps like WebEx, Articulate and Dreamweaver which all require heavy internet usage.  Not to mention the crap I view and download for giggles.   I am supper paranoid about letting a DAW soak on the internet even if it is a Mac.  My home studio Mac has never touched the web and ideally that’s the way I want to treat anything I’m using for recording.  In theory everything should be ok and but my personal experience observes computers getting bogged down, applications acting quirky and other various problems surface over time and I think internet usage plays a roll.  I don’t want the laptop to give me any hiccups when recording important meetings and seminars that run hours with out breaks.  I may have to drop some money into fixing the Toshiba laptop for things like WebEx and personal use…

Some people say I have nothing to worry about.  Others feel like I do.  Is it a crap shoot? 

Thanks a lot!
