Ha, I’ve been getting those results on my Amiga 2000 since 1990.

[Andy Branner] “No, actually, thank you for proving mine. You’re my hero.”
Glad to be of service. Now carry on bashing and insulting anyone that doesn’t agree with you.

[Andy Branner] “Yeah, that post was just incredibly ANGRY and just exuded frantic swinging, right? I should totally apologize.
If only I had such insight and “people skills” as you. Just amazing. *sigh*”
Thanks for proving my point.

[Andy Branner] “Exactly. You’re the perfect target.
If you can’t see what’s going on on his screen, lack the knowledge to figure it out and can’t do the basic math, oh well…”
I think you need to take a chill pill, dude. Being angry at the world and swinging wildly at all and sundry eats up a lot of energy.

It could be that FCP7 will remain viable for many years to come.

[Charlie Austin] “Looks like you’ll be able to do that…”
And that makes me happy.
I have to admit when I first heard “expandable only through Thunderbolt” I was a bit worried that it would be like the mac book pro retina, with ram attached to the motherboard.
For my needs, the new mac pro looks like it might be pretty rocking.

[Lance Bachelder] “I love it – probably the most powerful workstation to date, at least twice as powerful as anything any of us have ever used (unless you’re running a 12 core tower with dual K6000’s) and everyone is worried about upgrading.”
Hey, I like to save a few bucks not maxing out the ram through Apple, but buying from Crucial.

[Bill Davis] “This place is just so amazing. Are we all really this old and intolerant of change?”
I don’t think it is necessarily being intolerant of change. It is change that doesn’t fit in with their needs. I can see someone who was holding out for a machine that could be upgraded to something comparable to a high-dollar HP workstation might be disappointed.
Hey, the new mac pro could work for me. I am reserving judgement. But that is only me.
However, you have to admit, that for the user that needs high-end graphics cards or the ability to upgrade their system as they go, the new mac pro could leave something to be desired.

[Chris Lehmann] “According to the animations on the apple site, the whole cylindrical case slides off once the locking tab on the back is released. RAM trays fold out and are user upgradable. The flash storage looks like it just clips in, so that should be user upgradable as well.
The graphics cards look like they might be on removable trays too, although the way they come out in the animation could just be to show how it all fits together. If they are upgradable, it looks like only special apple cards would work.”
Well, guess that goers to show that “all” expandability might not be through Thunderbolt. It all depends on how you define expandable.
I’ll wait until they come out and early adopters have run it through its paces before I decide. I mean I don’t really like the concept of closed systems, however I have been using a 2010 imac and have been fairly happy with it.
Until I get the detailed specs and reports from a goodly amount of folks that have driven the mac pro around the block, I am not sure how I feel about it. Price will also be a big factor. I am just glad we finally have something tangible so we can start planning a yay or a nay on whether to continue on with Apple.

[Steve Connor] “I disagree, I think Apple are targeting the Pros that don’t like upgrading their machines and in my experience that’s almost everyone I’ve met in my corner of the creative industry”
I don’t know. A lot of folks I know, even if they upgraded nothing else, at least upgraded RAM. Apple was so pricey, and cheaper alternatives were out there.
