Waiting for Apple again. And again. And again …

[Jeremy Garchow]

I think the next Apple Event is September 7? It might only be iPhone related, though.

Still, you could wait until then, unless everything is out of stock?

I’m happy to wait till September 20th – I’m just hoping I know what’s up by then.

An impossible mission.

I’ve been looking more seriously at the HP Z workstations. You can get Thunderbolt 2.0 on those if that’s your concern:

I’m in a similar predicament with needing to replace machines, but all the rumors seem to point updated MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and/or iMacs. The trash can is nearly 3 years old now, which is ridiculous for a major tech company like Apple, IMHO.

Rumor mill seems to suggest that new macs will not be at the September 7th event, but quite possibly in October…conveniently just outside your window.

[Jeremy Garchow]

Herb, where are you planning to buy from?

Perhaps ask what the return date is.

If you bought Sept 20th, when could you return it if a new one if released Sept21?

I believe it’s called Karma. Which leads me to ask myself just how big a pr**k was I in my previous life.

All my deliverables are ProRes and even though there are some third party apps that work in PC’s, I don’t believe in messing around with deliverables. If it weren’t for that I would have been off the Mac band wagon years ago.

Good idea, thanks.

Assimilate SCRATCH? It’s the real deal, an officially-licensed Apple ProRes encoder on Windows. We’ve been using it for our ProRes deliverables.

It is an extra step — I still haven’t gotten into its automation features — but I get to use hardware (and an OS) that I like.
