Re: Why do you think a new Mac Pro ISN'T coming?

I loved M100! M100 and After Effects to be precise. ;-)

If it doesn't work out for ya'll in the next few weeks, I'm quite happy with a PC tower on my left, and a MacBook Pro on my right. I don't do any of my email, blogging, photos, or music on the PC. That's for the Mac. Good for lightweight editing stuff too.

If there is any heavy lifting to do, (say, ray-traced 3D compositions in AE, or editing RED footage natively), you do need serious power. A system might include a solid state boot drive, a dozen or more CPUs, a GPU of 2GB or more, 32-64 GB RAM, multiple slots, etc.

When you're editing or compositing, I don't miss Mac OS too much. When you're working in the Adobe apps, there is no difference in the UI at all. Oh, warning, the fonts in the menus are different!

Still, I'm all for it should Apple be releasing a new "tower" that rivals that HP machine Tim was talking about.
