Re: [Avid-L2] Avid Wants You Back! Your Avid Xpress Pro or Xpress DV dongle is worth $500!!

Gary - I've got 3 superflous dongles . . . make me an offer. They have been getting worth less and less as Avid reduces the price of Media Composer.

With Best Wishes,

>The major determining factor on how much computer you will actually need is
