Title: I Did It!
Post by: James Buchan on May 04, 2006, 06:22:42 PM: Yup I went off the deep and and did something I swore I never would....

I bought a Macbook Pro with 17\" screen, 250GB external HDD and Final Cut Studio - it has Intel Dual Core processing and all the other bells and whistles I could get - it arrives in 7 business days cause it is coming from back east as there are none on the west coast yet :)

Time to make some videos baby!

Its not a portable...Mr.Jobs. The beauty is that you can run either PC or Mac, really fast....

Apparently, these units are real flamethrowers, and the mac tech guys have some bad instructions for remedial work.
