Yes research is good but Apple gave everyone the big reach around Cell Mate handshake when they just pulled FCP 7. There were plenty of people who had invested into FCP 7 before the hand writing was on the wall. After an Editor's Lounge Terry emailed sjobs@apple.com and was informed by Steve Jobs personally that Apple was behind the professional market and that they wouldn't cut and run. Well maybe they didn't run in this case but they sure gave us the Bubba shuffle hard with FCP 7. Well that's enough prison jargon it's time for me to go walk the yard and bone up on my hand ball. Oh wait I've got an SRW-5500 in my living room. It's time to output to tape first.

Not one notice on the site (that I can find) saying "this product will no longer be available on 10/1 and will no longer be supported in 12 months". Real honest.
