final cut pro 5

[David Robinson]

Please send this guy a quarter. Remember, all it takes is 20,000 of us. That’s hilarious!

[Bill]

I sent him 1.33 that pays for 4 people and the .33 paypal nails him. Best of luck and post it when he hits his mark.

I’m in… Not original (asking for donations) but well done.

I gave.

Rather than blowing up the G4,
donate it and get a tax write off.

[David Robinson]

I don’t think he really wants to blow it up, but that’s the whole point of it. It’s his sacrifice. It would be a lot of fun too.

[Julie]

will do! thanks he is going to be psyched!

[Bret Williams]

First I don’t want to see him blow up a perfectly good G4. If it’s running Motion, he had to beef it up significantly. The stock G4 he has will not even install motion.

Second, he’s a beggar. Nothing more. He says he makes videos for a living. He should run his business better. A new computer every 5 years should be a fairly simple business purchase. If he can’t afford it, he doesn’t need it.

Tell ya what. I’ll push my 1992 Pathfinder off a cliff if everybody will send me fifty cents for a used Subaru Forrester. It’ll be a hell of a lot cooler to watch.

[Bret Williams]

The guy actually has the nerve to admit he wants a 23 inch display, while I sit here making money on a couple of CRTs that are pushing 10 years old! I’m running a dual 1ghz. He could’ve asked or a single used 1.8ghz or something but he’s obviously going for the latest and greatest.

He even goes so far as to say that the 30 charge that Paypal charges for doing each donation is “ridiculous.” I find that to be an utterly amazing low amount. If you’re doing credit cards they charge 2.9% plus the 30 cents. Go out and try to get a merchant account for cheaper.

If he doesn’t raise the $5000 is he going to blow it up anyway or send back your money? Send your money. I’ll watch for free.

[David Robinson]

Wow, Bret, chill a bit. This is all fun. Sit back and enjoy.

[Max Frank]

I agree that it would be very, very sad to ‘blow up’ a perfectly good G4, especially when there are thousands of community colleges, organisations, students, etc. who could benefit from it.

Funny, perhaps, but still a pathetic deed.

My advice to this guy: Spend less money on beer. Work hard. Save money.

And by the time he’s working on projects that would warrant an upgrade to G5, he should be able to afford one, like the rest of us.

And then, he can video-tape himself donating his old G4 to a school – and we’ll all be proud of him!
