Re: [Avid-L2] new mac Pro

You're right, my bad.
It wasn't 1999, it was beginning 2001. (I found back my first project cut on Avid on Youtube…)
I switched from M100 after they locked captured media to a specific software version, basterds.

I started out with an Meridien Express (Elite I think, with the VDB, on a G4 with expansion chassis.)
I already had the hardware, and with console 'alldrives'  I could use non-Avid drives.
I could not afford MC at that time, and no clue what I actually paid.
(I do have the paper administration.)

What I don't get though, according to wikipedia, Meridien wasn't introduced until 2003.

Funny thing:
I still run the Genelec speakers and Yamaha 03D that I already owned several years back then.
(The mixer reasonably priced back then, the Aardvark BB to Wordclock I needed to run the AES board not so, but that thing is also still running.)

If you only paid 53K for your Avid 22 years ago, you got a steal --

We upgraded 2 Avids in 1999 at 75K each...  

AVR 77 was all the rage...!

Am I the first one to configure one online, and find it a steal if you max it out?
(It's just a lousy 53K after tax return.)

On the other hand, I think that I've paid something like that for my first Avid, some 22 years ago.
