I'm another Media 100 user here in NJ. Started on a 9600 running version 3 in 1997 and I still have a G4 with XR cards that runs perfectly. While I took up Final Cut Pro around 2003, there are a few annual projects that are just easier to use Media 100 for. I keep a current version loaded on my computer and it's still my favorite NLE to work with.
When I started here at VCA, I built, serviced, and installed Media 100 and AVID systems all over the NY/NJ area. A lot of schools and small post houses used Media 100 because of the cost factor against AVID in those days - but the Media 100's were all replaced by Final Cut Pro. I haven't done a new installation of Media 100 since 2005 - anything else were upgrades for existing customers. With the FCP-X debacle, I had hoped that people would look at Media 100 more. I still find it's the most intuitive interface for editing and someone can start cutting complex sequences in very little time.
