Interesting to read that about the Drobo. Will do. I downloaded 10.0.8 and the data reloaded easily. But then the program started acting quirky and then dropping frames and numerous odd other things. Spent the morning on the phone with Apple Final Cut, and then sent to CPU Senior Advisor….apparently 2006 Mac Pro can only have a maximum of 16 GB…evenly distributed and I had recently upped it to 24. Working out all of these details took the rest of the day…but now I am working with the edit…and when I finish, I am getting a new Mac Pro….done. Many Thanks for all your help and advice and especially..for your time.
