[Avid-L2] Re: Smoke on Mac update

Exactly. So, a chopped off McSmoke and the heinous Autoscreet support contract is mandated? For a product that does not conform as well as a Symphony or even DS, that gives you a few more tools that could be considered niche? And an investment of $25k when you add it all up? No thanks...not the industry changer predicted, eh?

Terry, your contacts have any idea on what that support annual cost will be? I think for a full blown smoke its in $8 - 10k per year range depending on level of support (to be fair, I remember Discreet having very good support when needed and at those prices, it should be!)?
