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. ;-)

the stock price and the CEO compensation. 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.

that is just what we will do and not dwell on this unfortunate incident. Drinks
on Avid tonight!"). Leverage the underdog.

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.
