I would highly recommend Panasonic’s professional line of Plasmas. We have used 37″, 42″ and the 50″, and they work great, and the color is pretty accurate. I like the option of putting in cards for HD/SDI. The drawback is that it doesn’t have a tuner, so you cant sit around watching TV.

Thanks all for the advice.

The company that is offering us the WiMax guarantees a MINIMUM of 5MBs in each direction. They also guarantee 99.99% uptime, and for every 2hrs of downtime they refund 5% of your monthly bill. Also, they do give you 30 days to cancel if things aren’t working out. They do need to install an antenna on our roof, and our landlord has decided that we need to open up our lease agreement, and to “rent” roof space will cost us $500/mo. !!!!!! This is the same landlord that doubled our rent in the past 5 years. I don’t think they have looked out the window lately and have seen all the vacancies around us.

I have gotten many quotes for other services. Time Warner wants $340 a month for 20MB / 2MB. We are currently have 8MB/756kbs from them, and we are less then impressed by the service. FIOS isn’t available, or any other fiber options. From Speakeasy, for 5×5 we were looking at business ethernet for $720/mo. I also have some quotes for bonded T1 that was 4.5MBs for $999. So far not one company seemed interested in making any deals.

By the way, we are using a Cisco RV082 router, that is dual WAN capable. So we also have a DSL line, and we use a load balancing mode in the router to help out when all the assistants sit on youtube all down watching crap.

Again thanks all for the advice.

The 2.93 ghz 8-core is smoking fast, but will cost you at least $6K. So it depends on how much you want to spend.
Oh I forgot to mention that the new 4-core systems only have 4 memory slots, another reason to stay away from it.

FCP doesn’t use the extra cores, so for FCP the choice is irrelivant. For AE, the previous post is spot on. Check out barefeats for a good comparison of benchmarks of mac pros. For AE you want as many cores as possible and 2GB per core.

Speechless.

I’m hoping the only clients they get from this “video”, are the truely clueless, and grinders.

Start to feel like Avid? I think it already has, at least in terms of being the leader (in terms of installed user base) that takes their position for granted.

Hey,

Thanks for the tip. I’m going to be there Sunday through Tuesday morning, so it looks like I’m going to miss those parties.

Thanks all for the answers!

Here’s the deal. I know someone who owns a post house that has one main client, that is 90% of their business. The gross revenue of this post house is easily in the millions per year. They also have high salaries to pay, so the profit level probably isn’t that huge.
Anyway, I was told by one of the owners that their main client was looking into buying their company. For some reason this person thinks that their company is only worth the equipment value, because they have only the one main client.
Regardless of the situation, I have a hard time believing that the company is only worth the equipment it owns.
