Re: Thank you Apple - and don't change course. Please

Jamie,

If you had "huge stakes" at risk, you're a professional. If you're a professional, you're a grown up. If you're a grown up - stop acting like such a "victim."

The single most tiring thing in this group is watching talented professionals who've worked hard and achieved success to the point where they're doing excellent work at the top of an industry - and with one business move by a single vendor, they're reduced to bitching and whining like somebody took their bankie away.

Many of you guys shouting about how terrible Apple has behaved ARE the freaking editing 1 percent at the top of the professional ladder. You've earned that kind of position with hard work and tenacity. So it's amazing that you're now reduced to bitching all the time.

Stop talking about how badly you've been treated. Your talents and abilities are expected to be such that you can get the job done no matter any client, vendor, or software company does.

Legacy EOL should be at best an annoyance to you. Not a career ender.

So stop kvetching about how you've been so "wounded" and nobody understands your pain.

It's tiresome for everyone when the pros at the top of the heap feel justified in moaning about how bad they have it.

(there, now I feel better - a good rant can be so psychologically restorative, huh.)
