I was going to suggest that he put his Sandra Day O’Connor quote at the beginning and end of all paragraphs in his posts but I’m not sure it would do any good.

Believe me I wasn’t in a rush to go out and buy something but unfortunately a fair number of the people I often collaborate with were in a rush to do so and often for very practical reasons having to do with people up the food chain with whom they had to collaborate. Also, I tend to agree with you about the new iMacs if it just weren’t for that reflective screen. Makes me nuts every time I see one. And, unlike you, I don’t necessarily agree with Carsten. But if FCP X works for him then I’m behind him all the way. At $299 I wish it worked for me.

I have absolutely no problem with people who use X and are happy with it. If it works for you at its price point then you would be kind of crazy not to use it.

I’ve only used X once on a short piece with uncomplicated audio and it performed fine. Despite what I read about how it is a totally new way to do things and people are too – lazy, old, stupid, set in their ways; just pick one – to understand it, I found it pretty easy to adapt. But normally I work on longer form jobs with a lot more media and often with other editors. I could not even begin to trust X in a situation like that. And more practically speaking, the folks I do that sort of work for would not take me seriously if I suggested working with it.

OK. Wow.

Bitter about Apple’s actions? Absolutely. But precisely whom did I personally affront?

Goodie. Makes up for all the times I’ve had problems over the last twelve years when there was no direct or even indirect response whatever. Also makes up for all the EOL’d software. Come home to me Apple. All is forgiven.

I’ll text you when it’s happening.

That was fun. And you’re right – G6 all the way. So, I’ll bring the champagne and shots and you bring the jet and the women. Deal?

Yes, that’s kind of what I thought. I used to work with Lightworks and that controller many years ago and given what I’m used to now I’d much rather use a conventional keyboard. It was very popular with hardcore Shark users way back when and that’s probably why they are making it available now. But it’s $3000 I definitely don’t need to spend. More than willing to kick in the 60 bucks a year though.
