Good for them.

Absolutely not. IMHO, I don’t think the request to discuss Lightworks only in the Lightworks forum was warranted.

There is no reason to rename the forum.

[Craig Seeman] “There will be a MacPro replacement. It will be a different form.”
It will be called…iMac.

[Jeremy Garchow] “No. There’s another backpack for DSLR, and cases/bags for other cameras.
There there’s tripods, lights, flags, stands, audio, monitration, and all the other gear that simply can’t fit in a backpack.”
Yeah, that’s great. When you have room for it, or the budget can afford baggage fees.
“It sounds to me you want to shoot everything on a flip sized camera and have all you current gear fit in to a backpack.
I guess you skipped over the part where I mentioned lenses?
I see that is extremely limiting our creative capability, you see it as necessary.”
Congratulations. I’m glad you’re always able to bring every piece of gear you have on each and every shoot you do.

[Lance Bachelder] “What I don’t understand was why FCPX is never mentioned as a test system? This all has gone down since 10.04 and it seems that X might actually work well for the show based on the info in the article.”
Because the magnetic timeline is b.s., no matter what other fixes/features Apple adds.

[Jeremy Garchow] ”
I too, travel with a backpack, and it all fits. There’s even room for more.”Does this backpack also carry a camera and lenses?

[Jeremy Garchow] “Do you know of a laptop that reads virtually every media card, allows multiple express card and PCMCIA connection, and has a built in 4 port SATA multiplier?”
I’m not saying it isn’t a good deal. I’m saying that spending more than half the cost of a new MacBook Pro just so that I can plug in eSATA hard drives (and still no FW800 unless you have yet another ExpressCard and then an AC adapter on top of that if you have drives that rely on bus power) is a hideous Frankenstein mess. I can’t carry that around easily on travel.
If you just have that Medusa-cable setup on your desktop and don’t lug it around in the field, than that’s fine and hooray it works for you. But I am so compact sometimes that I have to carry a camera + MacBook 17″ in a single backpack and then offload to whatever drive a client happens to pick up, and I don’t feel like dedicating a case solely to the stuff that allows me to do what a MacBook Pro with ExpressCard + USB3.0 would allow me to accomplish.
It’s goofy. “Oh, great! The new Air-like Pros will be so convenient for travel. Oh wait, I have to carry all this additional shit with me to make it workable. Oh well, yay Apple!”

[Jeremy Garchow] “See, but my investment is “protected”. The Qio isn’t super cheap, now I will have a card that extends the life of the Qio as well as adding other flexibility without the Qio.”
Just a cost of over half what a brand-new 15″ MacBook Pro costs, simply to connect ports to your computer.

If they released a Thunderbolt Qio, that might be tempting.
But it’s now at least probably going to be 2013 or later since there was no mention of it at NAB this year.
