Re: Kona Drivers for Leopard

Here is the deal John. Steve Jobs hates you. He knows who you are, and he wants to make your life miserable. He knows that you have invested LOTS of money in all this equipment, AJA products, hard drives, etc. and he knows that if he makes sure that none of the manufacturers (like Adobe, AJA, Blackmagic, and his internal pro apps division) have Leopard in advance, that YOU will suffer. And this makes him happy.
Mr. Jobs is hoping that YOU accidentally upgrade to Leopard so that you system is rendered unusable.

And do you know what John. As soon as AJA, Blackmagic, Adobe, AVID, Digidesign, and all the drive companies how to get Leopard working on the MAC Pro, Mr. Jobs will OUTDATE the PCI-Express MAC Pro, and come out with a newer, faster, totally different MAC product, and everything that you own will be outdated. Do you feel better now ?

As long as you are in the technology business (which could be our business, or the pro printing business, network business, audio, photography, etc.), things will CONTINUE to change like this, and continue to give all of us aggrivation. Even though all we have to do is produce "creative content" that someone can watch for educational or entertainment value, we must continue to have the technology change constantly. IF there was no turmoil in our lives, then we would be HAPPY, and this would make "the creators" very unhappy (Bill Gates and Steve Jobs) - and we can't make them unhappy , can we ?

In conclusion - keep your pants on John. Leopard will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR YOU in terms of your editing and graphics system and applications. If Leopard never happened, Final Cut Studio 2 and the AJA product line would be as amazing as it ever as, and you would be able to create incredible HD content for all of your clients, and continue to make lots of money, so you can get that Ferrari that you really want.

So, stop your whining, and get back to work !
