“In short, there is no one you can speak to that can resolve the problem at Apple. NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE.”
Sorry to say this, bro, but I have two words for you: “Personal Responsibility”. You’re blaming Apple for something that is your fault.
Two, your post makes no sense. You said you’ve spent $5000 in software since FCP 1.0 1999, but are considering going “back” to wintel and adobe. First, $5000 is pretty darn cheap for what you get. Are you really a wintel-ite?
Three, you’ve spent $25K and you’re crying over a license YOU lost? Dude, just buy another one!
Four, if you’re really a “mac head” as you say, you’d know that Adobe won’t produce CS3 till Q2 2007.
Five, “Did you know both Adobe and Microsoft will provide you with this assistance at the drop of a hat?” Did you know that your whole post is just a little suspicious?
