    [Mitch Ives] “The plot thickens… the local Mac professional video dealer just sent out an email saying that there will be an event on Dec 10th, with Apple in attendance, showing the new Mac Pro and discussing price, configs and availability.”

    I got the same notice, but talked to the dealer himself by phone wondering if there might be a new MacPro arriving with the new FCP-X that I could sign up to get a look at – and was told directly that even tho a regional Apple rep is coming out for the event – they are NOT currently expecting the new hardware to be present.

    So the plot doesn’t just thicken – it’s downright congealed.

    Be nice if there was a surprise, but I was very specifically told not to expect a “hands on” experience.

    Funny how the email made it sound a lot more serious, huh?

    Just read the release on how Apple is now selling the Sharp 4K monitor. In it, they mention the Mac Pro being released as early as the 16th.

    Maybe we should get a calendar and mark the days that the Mac Pro WON”T be released… might take less time…
