Why do you think a new Mac Pro ISN’T coming?

Posts are flying faster than bullets, but I mentioned this in my post somewhere up above this. But that was 1999! Since then, it’s been all “think different” (ie, different than power LOL) or “I’m a PC” vs. “I’m Drew Barrymore’s boyfriend.”
BTW, here’s Apple’s 1999 Supercomputer commercial:

[Richard Herd] “Heroes of old”
Exactly my point. Heroes of old are almost ALWAYS exaggerated or distorted. Per Wikipedia:
“A majority of legends operate within the realm of uncertainty, never being entirely believed by the participants, but also never being resolutely doubted.”
I also love their list of example legends. For the record, FCP would be alphabetized between “Eldorado” and “Fountain of Youth.”
- Atlantis
- The founding of Tenochtitlan, Aztec Capital
- Big Foot
- Cenodoxus, or the Damnation of the Good Doctor of Paris, told as an event justifying the sanctification of St. Bruno
- Celtic Legends
- El Dorado
- Fountain of Youth
- Helen of Troy and the Trojan War
- King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
- Legends of Africa
- Odysseus
- Philosopher’s stone
- Robin Hood
- Romulus and Remus and the founding of Rome
- Shangri-La
- Táin Bó Flidhais
- Vlad the Impaler; stories of his cruelty have attained legendary status, most likely spread after his death by his enemies.
- William Tell
I’m kidding around, but that’s why *I* found “FCP Legend” so funny. Consider me to be LOL-ing…which I actually did.

[Tim Wilson] “[Chris Harlan] “I gotta say I like that! FCP Legend.”
As in “never existed” or “exaggerated beyond anything resembling what actually happened?”
“Naw. You’ve descended into myth. That FCP once existed is still historically possible, though not verifiable. There are stories, though, that once there was a mighty editing platform that…

[Chris Harlan] “Oh, now, c’mon. You’ve gotta remember those G5 commercials where all you had to do was turn it on to get blown to the other side of the house. I say there was clearly a time they when they were strutting around to the tune of Raw Power.”
Surely. I didn’t say Apple didn’t market power, but pound for pound and feature for feature, Macs have been lesser capable in the processing department than pcs for a long while.
I think it was “The Fastest Mac, yet.”. Keyword collection: Mac.
You could never stick as many periphs in a Mac tower than you could a much cheaper PC, even in the PATA days.
It’s the troof.

[Herb Sevush] “The thing is I have options, it’s the uncertainty that’s bugging me. This morning I had committed to just getting a refurb MacPro but my IT guy talked me out of it, saying I should wait a few more weeks. The only thing that would really piss me off is buying a refurb and then Apple coming out with an upgrade. All I want is clarity – kill it or not, just let everyone know so we can move on.”
That’s what got you in this bind a year ago!
If I was you, I’d wait until WWDC. After that, you buy for what you need now.

That’s where it’s headed.
M100 blew the doors off 2010 FCP’s media management in 1999.
Legend?

Joseph – “I can see how impressed clients are going to be when they walk into a suite that has 14 little bricks strung together with Thunderbolt cables, and dozens of necessary outboard peripherals. ”
richard’s response –
[Richard Herd] “I would put them in a properly controlled closet and access them wirelessly and I’d send a video output the client’s iPad.”
his ipad.
richard but of course, brilliant solution – so that’s a little open to question:
at say, literally the day before yesterday, the client mac pro gave out with a pop – declared a red light through the grill.
its a facility within an advertising body – with high teen’s seats.
The macpro had staged failure visual light indicators. at the front, and separately, at the ram.
It’s an engineer accessible machine richard. You get this right? You understand the context of a machine produced for these scenarios?
as one clown to another, I am surprised that you do not grasp the basics of situation specific computing design: say blinking diagnosable critical components.
The guy had a look, pulled out the motherboard, and the suite was going again, I *think* with a swap out of some description, inside the morning.

Harder to say as it recedes into the mists of time, but my Media 100 kept me laughing so hard at FCP that I just couldn’t imagine why anyone would put themselves through such misery.
Of course I was laughing harder at Avid, but still. Media 100 was the best anything of anything.

Brand recognition?
Apple needs to gain brand recognition from a MacPro?

I’m sticking with “FCP Legend”!
