Re: Combustion 4.04 will not Install on 8 core mac

[Larry Butcher] "Autodesk, if you're listening, please fix this or Combustion will have to be shelved."

I am not one that often cuts Autodesk a lot of slack. ;o)

Still, I have to kind of scratch my head at this comment...

Why?

The cost of machines has dropped to the point where compared to the investment in training and experience (what I like to call "user equity") in tools, etc., the machine is cheap compared to the real working knowledge of a tool and its processes.

So, giving up Combustion because it doesn't run on an 8-core Mac seems like a poor trade to me. Especially as I have an 8-core and it hasn't changed my life, not like giving up a favorite tool would.

Yes, knowledge may be power but "user equity" in a tool is bucks. Training and the time it takes to learn something -- and to be very good at it -- is a heap of bucks.

Compared to a machine, it is nearly always a far greater investment in the "mind and hands" than the machine.

That's my thought anyway.

Your mileage may vary,

Ron Lindeboom
