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

[Craig Seeman] "Yet I saw them at the local Blackmagic show along with Adobe and Avid. It did shock me."

Ah, see now, road shows, Apple has always done those exactly right -- a couple of guys, making a big impact on people who are there for BUSINESS. I did many, many of these with Apple guys over the years, and think the world of the Apple people I worked with.

I can't think of anything I've said about Apple that I'd take back, but I certainly regret if anything I've said reflects poorly on those folks. Some of the sharpest people I've ever met, and zeroed in on this market like few people I've met anywhere.

Since you mentioned New York, I'll mention that I'm especially fond of the Apple guys there. I worked with them quite regularly, including at good old user groups.

The thing is, NAB has its virtues, but these post-show road events are where it's at for many, many vendors. I recommend pretty much every one of them. :-)
