[Buddy Couch] "Especially with Apples track record."
Glad you brought that up.
Yeah, a track record of dumping high end professional-use products without warning, after business have made major investments in them.
A track record of touting features in the adverts that version after version still either don't work at all, don't work as advertised, or work so poorly they are useless.
A track record of not listening to the customer base.
A track record of telling the customer base what is best for them.
A track record of favoring bling over substance.
A track record of arrogance, and hype.
A track record of making changes for the sake of creating obsolescence and driving sales.
A track record of ignoring and downplaying deficiencies.
A track record of marketing incompatibility as something hip, cool and useful.
Don't get me wrong. The Mac Pro is a decent, although pricey product.
FCS isn't a bad software suite. I like it. I use it. In fact I use all of it, not just FCP. But everyone that owns it, and paid a lot more than 300 dollars is still waiting for Apple to address issues with it.
And we have been waiting a long time.
And it looks like we are still waiting.
If past history is a predictor of future performance, and you still think Apple is going to turn X into 'FCP Awesome' anytime in the near future, well you're living in dreamland.

I have a system, it has stuff in it, and stuff hooked to it. I have a camera, it can record stuff. I read the manuals, and know how to use this stuff and lots of other stuff too.
You should be suitably impressed...
