Well figures don't lie but liars sure can figure. Learned that in high school and it still applies. Just remember life's a comedy not a drama, perhaps that explains all the clowns mentioned in this thread. I'll just do my best to not let apple rent too much space in my head. ;-)

Hey, I would love to believe that Avid would play nice-nice in the sandbox if the roles were reversed, but I don't see that happening in the real world. Jaded? Maybe. But a realist at the same time.

It's up to us to put the best products out for our clients, and that is just what we will do and not dwell on this unfortunate incident. Drinks on Avid tonight!"). Leverage the underdog.

And it's so true what Cameron Crowe wrote in "Jerry Maquire"; we do live in cynical world. But like Cameron Frye in 'Ferris Bueller', sometimes you have to take a stand. Sometimes you just have to go out on a limb and just say that no, it's not true -- it's not always true that if Avid had the chance, cash and power that they would behave as Apple has just done. Because sometimes we ARE better than that. Is believing in the better angels of our nature a thing of the past? Is expecting honor a mere cultural relic? Maybe. But not in my house.
