Hey Chris!
I thought it was a good, well-rounded assessment. Thanks for writing it, and thanks to Craig for sharing it.

[Marcus Moore] “People are going to talk about things their invested in. I’m honestly fascinated watching this software evolve- so speculation is only natural.”
Believe me, I’m quite invested in Apple products. I’m still very interested in watching X evolve as software, as well as what’s going on with accompanying hardware. I still very interested in what people think should be there or what should not. I enjoy people’s different theories and ideas and projections. Speculating about what Apple is or is not going to do at a show in three weeks–not so much. But that’s me.

[Michael Gissing] “A little distance does make the rumour milling seem like wish fulfilment rather than anything informed or important.
“Yup.

[Michael Sanders] “NAB isn’t far away – surely it’s about time the rumours started?
“I’m actually surprised by how far I’ve moved into the “who cares” corner. I’m not being flippant about what you wrote, or other people’s excitement. I truly AM surprised at how burnt out I am over speculating what Apple may or may not do in the near future. I guess I’ve begun to feel that constantly having these conversations is like putting on a sock puppet show for the sales department.

[Bill Davis] “[Chris Harlan] “Huh? You do understand the conditional implications of the word “if”–right?”
I do Chris,
I also undersand the implications of the word “indeed” – which presumes a factual basis for the concept. (synonyms: truly, factually, etc.) Without that word, I’d agree with you. But with it, the OP implies the concept is based in fact.
“Well, Bill, as I see it, the word “indeed” as used is synonymous with “actually,” as in “what if it actually turns out that…” In other words, “What if the reality is…” The synonyms you suggest all say the same thing, as well. IMHO, you are reacting to things that are, indeed, not there. 😉

[Bill Davis] “[Christian Schumacher] “Specially if the next macpro is indeed a flop, no way IMO.
”Wow, nice to know that a thing that nobody outside the internal Apple labs has a single clue about is already getting spun as “a flop.”
“Huh? You do understand the conditional implications of the word “if”–right?

[Darren Kelly] “I do wish though I had taken the Avid offer to switch to 5.5 for $1,000. Seems like that deal is dead now.
“Well you can’t do it to 5.5 anymore, but according to Videoguys–as of yesterday–you can crossgrade to 6.5 for 949. So, you’d have to settle for a full point version up at 50 dollars less.

[Tim Wilson] “Alpha Bits.”
Alpha Bits, man. Alpha Bits. Weren’t nothin’ like ’em before. Won’t ever be nothin’ like ’em again.

[Craig Seeman] “Most High Schools don’t have Broadcast equipment.”
Really? I’m shocked. You are just going to keep beating this? C’mon, man. Crack a smile. You can do it.

Man, you are working overtime to get X into this conversation. You KNOW its not goin’ in unless you redefine the given terms. I’m sure that among the many curricula that offer “Broadcast Television,” there are a few that are mislabeled, but to assume that it is so from the outset does not seem reasonable.
