my brother  is a music producer/sound engineer working on anime 
projects. One of  his friends had been doing video production work 
with Avid systems  for quite a while, very profitably. When Final Cut 
Pro came out, he  tried it. Four months later he sold off $200,000 
worth of Avid  software and hardware systems for a couple of G5-DP 
systems and Final  Cut Studio. His report: "$30,000 worth of hardware 
and software has  replaced $200,000 worth of hardware and software, 
and I'm getting  twice as much work done per day. I call that a big 
success." 

Hope you got him to treat you to dinner, since he'd left himself wide 
open with that remark ...
I think we do live in very exciting times, considering what technology 
gifts are available to us. Even those of us whose only apple purchases 
are cheap and edible.
