[Simon Ubsdell] “Anyone who has been a regular here over the years (even Herb!) will readily admit that FCP X is an entirely viable solution for most if not all editing scenarios.”
Has it come to this, that I am now relegated to “even Herb.”
Where is Aindreas when I need him?

[Jeff Markgraf] “A small but vocal group (mostly online) chanting, “but, muh slots!” is just background noise for lots of people happily doing real work while waiting (way to long) for an updated machine.”
As someone who disliked the design of the Tcan when it first came out but then went out and bought one when I needed a new Mac workstation, I can say without hesitation that it is indeed a Thud. Yes you can work with it (if your video cards haven’t caught fire) but it is a dead end investment. Which is why Tim Cook came out and admitted that it was a total failure and that Apple was going to relegate the trash-can to the trash can when bringing out their next workstation, which is why you have been waiting (way to long) for an updated machine.

[Bill Davis] “If you choose to represent yourself in discussions – or billboard a signature that identifies you as platform agnostic, your posts and opinions will likely be seen through that light. If not, then not. “
I’m platform indifferent, not agnostic. I think the whole concept of having allegiances to appliances made by multi-national corporations is silly and unproductive and I wouldn’t want to label myself with any of them, any more than I would wear a Nike swoosh on my clothes.

[Bill Davis] “You’ve obviously made your allegiance bets.
As have I.”
I own 2 Mac workstations (2010 & 2013) but agree with Greg. I’m highly critical of Apple but I still use them exclusively for my work, and if they ever come out with a new workstation I’m a likely buyer – so where does that put me allegiance wise? It’s not all “identity politics” – sometimes it’s just about the facts.

[Bill Davis] “I’d argue you have that backwards.
Availability is an aspect of time.”
Don’t get all metaphysical on me Bill, I’m just arguing for using the best gear you can get your hands on.

[Bill Davis] “But the most common scarcity in this is the one you conveniently left out… time.”
Time is an aspect of “availability.” A better option isn’t available because you’ve run out of time to get it; for a reporter with a breaking story the phone in your hand is better than the camera in your desk.

[Andrew Kimery] “Something I find interesting is how ‘good enough’ gets tossed around as negative term yet everyone lands on good enough eventually because projects have finite budgets and deadlines.”
Good enough is for when you don’t have any other options – due to money, size, availability. If you can afford better options, then “good enough” ain’t good enough.

[Robin S. Kurz] “If DaVinci and Picasso had just not used such shit paint but TODAY’S superior hi-rez paints, mixed to perfection”
What on earth makes you think DaVinci and Picasso used anything but the finest, most expensive materials known to man when they created their works. Do you think Picasso was running around with crayons ?
