Monday's forum reaction posted Sunday.

Not knowing what's really going to happen tomorrow I figured I'd cover anticipated posts for all sides.

"12 cores but only a built in 2GB VRAM GPU, HP here I come"
"I still can't rack mount that thing"
"No internal hard drive expansion, that's it, I'm outta here"
"It's an iMacPro, a MacMiniPro, no, an iPadPro, they really don't like us."
"9 years and they still haven't changed the case design. They really have forgotten us Pros"
"I'm so glad they didn't change the case design. They really know what we want"
"Radical redesign, form over function. They really have forgotten us Pros"
"Wow a 4K resolution Retina Display but they limit our GPU choices. What were they thinking of?"
"Great, no PCIe slots and a slew of Thunderbolt ports. Where am I supposed to put all those peripherals on my desk?"
"That's not a workstation, it's a lap warmer."
"USB3, too little too late."
"so they get rid of the 17" MBP and make a desktop that looks like a laptop, they just don't listen."
"Thunderbolt does not replace Ethernet, how can you do this Apple?"
"4 16xPCIe3 slots and 4 Thunderbolt ports. beast, beast, beast!"

"It doesn't work on a G5? Apple doesn't care about Pros."
"Why would serious pros even want a mac these days?"
"That's really expensive".
"That's really cheap".
"They're turning our macs into iPads".
"That's it. I'm getting an HP. Oh, I don't actually have a mac, I just like to come to this forum to watch the fights because it makes me feel a little better for never having invested the time to learn macs or final cut".
"What's a troll?"
"Premiere could do that in just 40 steps."
"You're using the same argument and are revising history."
"Our new HP with Premiere screams. It takes an act of God to record scratch VO, but it's a really fast act".

Nice idea, then people can simply cut and paste into their posts. If I could add a couple

"Yes it's very good but I can get a faster PC for much less money"

"No mid-range NVidia card support?"

"Epic fail"

"Yes it's good but will it be the last Mac Pro?"

And of course on the legacy forum there will be 5 or 6 posts about....

" I'm editing h264 footage and FCP 7 stutters/goes out of sync/ crashes/ won't export fully..."

[Jeremy Garchow] ""Does anyone know when barefeats will post some benchmarks?""

Hey, I was saving that for tomorrow!

[Bernard Newnham] "If Ford stopped making SUVs for years, and you needed an SUV, would you wait and speculate, or just buy a Nissan?"

Since Ford started putting iPod adapters in all of their vehicles except that one SUV (which Ford had not stopped making and selling, rather had simply not refreshed the line in a while), I'd wait until that new SUV engine could send power to the iPod.

Since there's been real life manufacturing delays on that powerplant, I'd probably wait to see the 2012 autoshow offerings before buying a Ford Escort with the 12 cylinder engine and a tow hitch.

...Or something more eloquent yet analogous to that.
