Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Now: MC to Symphony upgrade

I have to disagree. They have had zero issues except the Matrox. And telling people they have to reboot to burn a DVD or use After Effects is to me unwise. The days when editors just use MC are over in my world. Some of the assistants go back and forth constantly.

They do know not to upgrade anything. And it was thoroughly tested before use.
