After removing recording medium and turning of Windows XP computer turn on Mac compute and reinsert recording medium. Bring XP computer to nearest electronic recycling center.

Have you ever encounted a “Blue Screen” issue when capturing to the HP using your EX1? Or do you just capture straight to the MAC?

I had a few customers with this issue before. I decided to post the standard procedures to avoid this issue. Sorry if it seemed a bit cryptic.
Ps. I prefer MAC also haha!

Yeah but did that price savings get offset but the precipitous drop in efficiency afforded by Windows?

Actually, I’ve been very happy with my HP laptop. I don’t do a bunch of editing on it, but I actually do most of my after effects on my laptop since I have 64 bit CS5 installed on it.
I haven’t had any issues yet. I’ve had it over a year.
The other reason I bought it is that Apple was over a year behind on upgrading their laptops to the quadcore pentium and I couldn’t wait anymore. Apple used to be the leader and always first in computer technology, but when they came out with the iPhone, it all stopped. they put all of their engineers on developing the iPhone, iPod Touch, etc. Now that that has leveled off, they are back. Still waiting on the new Final Cut Studio (that has also been slow in coming out)
