With what money to buy and further development/integrate it?
Apple, with more money than the US Government, could barely get FCP and
Color mesh fluidly. Not sure how Avid buying a third party product then
further develop it half way through with little or no cash on hand. It
is a sexy product that can move boxes, but I just don't think the money
and development time are there.
