I’m at Promax in NYC and got to meet and greet with keynote speaker Al Gore just a few minutes ago. Working up all my courage, I decided to sandbag him with complaints about Final Cut Pro X. Here’s how it went down.
ME: “Mr. Vice President, I’m a stockholder and fan of Apple. Quite a few of us are having problems with Final Cut Pro X. It doesn’t do quite a bit of what we need to do our work. ”
AL: “What doesn’t it do?” he asked.
ME: “It can’t open previous projects and doesn’t lay to tape just to name a few. While I understand the need for secrecy the next time you get a chance, could you pass the word on to Apple that those of us in TV that use the Final Cut really need a roadmap or at least some official response on if and when we can expect these things to come back?”
AL: “I’ll make sure to let them know”.
ME: “Thank you!”Maybe we’ll hear something. He is an Apple board member, after all.

Awesome. Good to know.
I wear many hats.
http://www.gregburkepost.comI didn’t copy that edit that well. I was also incredibly nervous – please ignore the typos and poor sentence structure of that post :).

I gotta say, of all the questions you could have asked him you chose the one most important to the herd/hive…thank you for that.

Politics and religion… I guess I better not say what I would have called him…
