Re: [Avid-L2] Re: [pr] Avid reports 3rd quarter earnings

There's a lot more to Avid than the editing application.

I'll never understand it. Avid's products are strong right now. Their
customer support is better than ever. They're responding to customer
feedback (more 3rd party compatibility, etc..) and making rapid
improvements across the entire range of products. And the share price is
worse than ever. It doesn't make sense to me.
