[David Lawrence] “I think Steve’s being facetious. At least I hope he is! ;)”

You’re probably right… he has a dry sense of humor. I was too tired to notice that… apologies…

[Steve Connor] “Yup, hardware failure and being locked out of your own software are EXACTLY the same
“

Seriously? No they aren’t. I have several machines. Adobe problems affect all installs.

[Gary Huff] “And I could probably find scores of stories where people had to borrow a machine because their Mac Pro or MacBook Pro went down and they weren’t able to get a replacement in time.

Even under AppleCare.

But you put your trust in Apple apparently.”

Bogus comparison. Most of us have more than one machine. I have four available Adobe stopped on both machines it was registered on. See the difference?

[Gary Huff] “If you couldn’t pay the “software” rent, does that mean you also couldn’t pay the electricity? Can’t run your post house if your power is turned off.”

Your question is theoretical, but I’ll give you a real world example… even before CC. One Friday on a deadline, all of a sudden all the Adobe apps refuse to open. The message was that my trial period had ended. I didn’t have a trial period, I had the purchased CD, complete with serial number. It didn’t care, and any attempt at reinstalling said that I had already used the install. I couldn’t uninstall it. I couldn’t do anything and neither could Adobe. Their eventual solution (some days later) was to use the “challenge answer” workaround. Bottom line, it never was fixed… just patched with gaffer tape and bailing wire.

In the meantime, I had to go to another post house and borrow a suite to finish the project. You’ll excuse me if I tell you that your faith in Adobe is seriously misplaced. Being screwed once was enough… I will never give them a chance to do it every month.

[Erik Lindahl] “Yes, I would have loved a few features in 10.1 that didn’t make the cut – batch export, more flexible GUI, role lanes, better audio-mixing, keyframable color correction, curves for color correction, multiple scopes and heaps more. “

Nice list…

[Brett Sherman] “Lucky you. I’ve got a week at least. They could have made the transition easier. Rather than converting managed files to managed files they could have simply turned the managed media into external media leaving it in place and created new libraries and events linked to the original location. “

Actually, I was trying to be positive. It’s taking a lot longer than that…

Most of what Ty mentions is simply getting us back features from FCP7, and while they are appreciated, I can’t help but feel it’s time to move the ball forward of where the goal line was before we went backward with the first release of X.

Are we happy… of course. Could we be happier with new improvements? Of course.

Until Apple gives us TB2 displays, I think we’re shot. I wonder if they’re even considering that?

Things like the IoXT, BM, etc. will all need updates as well…

My Pegasus2 ships tomorrow. I’ll have it next week.

I didn’t realize there is a TB to dual DVI cable from Apple. That means I can keep my 30″ display.

Here’s the tricky part. As it’s been explained to me, adding a TB1 device pulls down the TB2 to TB1 speeds. Since there are only three controllers for the six ports, you effectively get four TB2 ports, since any display or older TB1 device will pull down one controller (and thus two ports).

Ahhh… the things to think about…
