    “The third party condiment makers will make a fortune with a broad market who need to add side orders to their breakfast.”

    Problem is the tourists don’t use the fancy condiments, they’re happy with the Youtube presets. Terrible release, bad marketing and strange packaging has scared many of the experienced travelers away. Time will tell if there’s enough of them left to sell the fancy condiments to.

    Actually, Herb, on the contrary. Our windows server runs our NTFS based SAN which talk to all of our macs via metaSAN. It does a really good job of serving data, and that about all I need it to do.

    It is that bad, all the “Terminal” commands are different, things are hidden in weird places. I know I would get used to it, but no thanks. We have to use windows for certain tasks and it’s like pulling teeth.

    I do like the MacOS, flame me for not being pro enough, I don’t care. I am not throwing the baby out with the bath water.

    Hmmm, that statement reminds me of something… 😉

    New travelers will climb the ladder. Granted FCP brand has probably lost a chunk of upper market share but there’s enough people who are experienced working with it for the third parties to feed it. Once enough features are added I think it’ll begin to creep back up.

    Key is that the condiment makers are ready and willing. I really think Apple’s API is going to be the make/break more than anything. Apple needs to be working with Boris, RedGiant, GenArts amongst others.

    Also the biggest change is that Avid, Premiere Pro, FCP legacy, all had a lot of GUI in common. FCPX is a new flavor and some people just don’t like the taste and all the features in the world won’t matter to them. The question is whether new people coming up, without GUI bias, will take to it.

    There’s a mistaken assumption (apparently) that FCPX is universally panned except for a small minority. I actually think the divide, when looking at the entire market, not just broadcast and feature narrative, is a bit more evenly divided. Add in the newbies who like it and there’s a good basis for a growing new food flavor. Imagine if I told you I’d open lots of restaurants serving raw fish and it would become popular. Maybe it’s not McDonald’s hamburgers but Sushi sells well and it’s not perceived as “fast food junk” even though it doesn’t even need to be cooked.

    Can I have my sushi without the magnetic wasabi please?

    Actually it’s the seaweed wrap. You can remove it or the rice will fall all over the place. Wasabi is a condiment, the seaweed is fundamental to the design though. Sure with a burger you can remove the bun but with sushi the seaweed holds it together. You can’t make sushi be a burger. People who try are going to get the rice all over the place and then blame the sushi for not being burgerlike.

    But all I ever wanted was a better burger, and when the guy at the drive in window gives me this crazy raw fish i start to complain that there’s no meat in it he tells me the fish is better for me and they don’t serve meat no more, it’s so yesterday.

    I picked up a mess of sushi, took it home and cooked it. Funny, but it tastes just like fish to me.
