We didn't have those problems with CMX as the versions jumped by the thousands 340 to 3400 to 3600 and 6000. Those big number hops were really impressive of course I was a little younger then, uh I mean younger when I read about them in my editing ancient history class I just finished last year. I just can't wait to break into the business and make a whopping $18.00 an hour. Funny I didn't make much more than that when I started at ABC back in the day but the massive hours and editing upgrade made it a good living.
