[Jim Wiseman] " am not groveling. You seem to be the Windows shill around here. I merely find the Mac to be the superior machine that is in need of an upgrade and OSX a far better operating system. This comes from experience with both OS's and having to support both systems. As a video VAR for 10 years with about 250 customers, I got more OS related trouble calls from from the 10 Windows based users I had than the 240 Mac OS systems combined. Why don't you buy your PC and let us just move on? It is the Mac based users Adobe is going for, after all. How many people do you think the user base of FCP 7 was compared to Premiere before FCPX? Those are the numbers Adobe is running and the users they are after. So is Avid. Both are supporting the Mac because they know those users represent where their growth is. I see no "groveling" in hoping that the hardware/software system that non-linear editing was born on via Avid should continue. I am not "groveling", I just happen to love my Mac, and based on the current state of Dell and HP, apparently a lot of other people do too. Look at the stock prices. HP almost quit making PC's less than a year ago. Dell is going in the tank 17% down last week. Apple's valuation 24x Dell's. If you want to put your money on those horses, go ahead. But don't ever insult me with a comment like that again just because I have an opinion that I can back up with the ones of my large sample of editors here in Hawaii. It will be a sad day for a lot of people if the Mac Pro is end of life."
Easy Jim. Your sounding a bit paranoid around the edges. It might be time to chill out about this Mac thing.
