I'll stick with Media Composer being introduced at NAB in 88, even if it didn't ship until a couple of weeks after EMC. :-)

That said, we're splitting hairs here, and I admit that I should have been more careful with my language. Still, the gist is true. Not only did Henry Ford NOT invent the car -- I don't know if he was one of the first ten at the party. Thomas Edison didn't invent the lightbulb, and Peter Frampton didn't invent that thing where you put a tube in your mouth while you play the electric guitar. But they stuck the landing in a meaningful-enough way that the people before them are seen as precursors, and their peers as variants.

THAT said, while I'm sticking to my guns that the landing for desktop video was stuck longest and loudest on Mac, and by no means exclusively, I really don't want to be seen as a Mac pimp. While I built my own video production company around Macs, my opinion is that Apple lost its pro-focus a long time before FCP 7 shipped, for deeper reasons than typically come up...but have on this thread, and this one too.

Thanks for all the fish, indeed.

Anyone else wants to have the last word on this sub-thread is welcome to it. :-) The main part of the thread is the one that deserves the spotlight.
