'Back To the Mac' Media Event On October 20th
Kildjean writes "Engadget reports that Apple has issued invitations for a special media event to be held next Wednesday, October 20th at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. The invitation for the event, which is to be held at the company's campus in Cupertino, California, carries the tagline 'Back to the Mac.' The invitation also contains an image of what appears to be a lion peeking out from behind the Apple logo, hinting at discussion of Mac OS X 10.7. 'Lion' has been one of the most commonly-suggested 'big cat' names for the next-generation operating system. Much of Apple's notebook line with the exception of the entry-level MacBook is due for a refresh, and Apple has refreshed at least a portion of its notebook line each October or November for the last several years. Apple's desktop offerings have all been updated relatively recently, suggesting that the company's media event may focus on notebooks if new hardware is included on the agenda."
I' love to "get back to the mac" but I cant. You wont make a mac pro that is affordable in any way so I had to abandon the Mac platform and go back to the PC platform like many MANY businesses have.
I would love to stick with Final Cut and the mac platform... but I am able to buy 2X the machine for 1/2 the money AND have enough left over to buy new video camera gear. for the price of ONE Mac Pro quad core that can do AVCHD editing smoothly.
I loved editing on the mac platform, but they made the mac pro platform way too expensive.
Dear, Lumpy.
If you are indeed a professional and you were able to afford Final Cut and a mac in the first place, you should be aware that you can "write off" hardware and software upgrade costs as a "BUSINESS EXPENSE". If you don't actually have a business then I have to ask you, WTF were you using Final Cut for in the first place?
Jesus was a compassionate social conservative who called individuals to sin no more.
Maybe they'll name the next version "Civet," acknowledging that we're willing to pay a premium for whatever they crap out.
A user like you would never get near enough to the part of the system that is governed by those specifications in order to tell.
It could just as easily be the NT kernel underneath and a rube like you would never know.
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
