[Bill Davis] “The only given is that X will never satisfy them – because the real hurt was never the product itself -it was the way they came to believe Apple had betrayed them emotionally by taking away their defining tool.
“Oh, dear God. Dr. Bill, you can see into our very souls!
Man, you are good for a laugh now and again. That is some funny stuff!
As to FCP7, it may be EOLed but it is still VERY much alive in LA. In fact, people are still buying it. I think it’ll take another year, maybe two before it gives out.

[David Lawrence] “It’s a subtle difference, but the distinction is important and the utility is real.”
I would have to say amen.

[Andrew Richards] “[Peter Corbett] “Mac-generated Photoshop PSD’s with custom OSX fonts”
What fonts do you see that are Mac-only? TrueType, OpenType, and modern PostScript fonts are all cross-platform. You do need to have them installed though. PSDs are also cross-platform.
Best,
Andy”Yeah, I’ve never had any problem going back and forth.

[Shane Ross] “The clues are everywhere. The MacPro is DOA.”
Yup. This is moving into the land of “no sh!t, Sherlock.” I’m hearing my brand new 17″ Macbook Pro is possibly last of breed, too. I guess that’s probably why I bought it.

[Andrew Richards] ”
MacDrive works really well if that is all that is holding you back.
“That’s cool, Andy. Thanks!

Is it true that Bill Davis is paying for it?

[Tim Wilson] “I mean, seriously, what would happen if I was right any meaningful percentage of the time? What would my kids say? “
Dad, can I take the Leer down to the Cayman’s this weekend?

Oh, dude. There is just so much to untangle in your answer, and I just don’t have the time for this kind of distraction today. We just have to disagree.

[Chris Kenny] “But you can’t seem to explain how. What exactly is your interpretation of Intel’s statement that Thunderbolt’s transport layer supports tree/star topologies?”
As I have already said, because the Transport Layer is above the Physical Layer, and the Physical Layer seems to have requirements that might open it up for switching but not for hubing. Do you understand layer abstraction and how each layer is subjugated to the properties of the layer below it?
We’re just going to have to disagree like we do on so much else. I just don’t have the time to ferret it out any further. Personally, I would be more than happy to be wrong in my assumptions. I would certainly like a hub. It would be so much more convenient. My search for one, however, has suggested that I will not find one for the reasons I have detailed.

[Chris Kenny] “Because you’re ignoring a clear reference saying Thunderbolt supports tree/star topologies. “
No. I’m not. I’m saying that you are quite possibly misunderstanding that reference. Let me as you this, Chris–since you are so obstinate about such things–after a full year of availability, when a hub would be the easiest, most convenient solution for a majority of Thunderbolt users (instead of a daisy chain with all of its organizational limitations), why doesn’t one exist? Why hasn’t one been announced? It were possible, or at least easily achievable, why isn’t anyone marketing what would be THE most obvious peripheral?
