I'll never ever ever buy a Mac... ever...

Rodney V. Smith · 10-29-2009, 11:40 PM

I eventually want to have both the laptop and the tower, but i'm on the road so much the laptop is easily the best choice for me. Now to have one in my home office as the main workhorse while I'm there would be ideal. I can at least use one just for renders and what not.

Speaking of rendering: currently rendering out the last After Effects file. I didnt get to work on the additional effects I;d wanted in there, but you guys aren't going to notice anything missing.... it was really simply to enhance what is already there.

Happy with the final CC as well.

Now to finish up the audio...

I spent a LOT of time researching and talking to apple people before I settlled on
a macbook pro (and yes I still use PCs for email and html etc. but for protools and FCP -its MAC).

If you do go with the craigs list one you mentioned, It HAS to be the Intel version or you will be stuck with old version of Final Cut studio forever.

Anyway, since I've had my MBP, I've thrown everything at it from After effects with nested comps, Cinema 4d renders, Pftack etc etc.. It's never stuttered even for a second and it Eats-Up the code fast.

I had a G5 tower (but it wasn't intel so that's what spurred the upgraded to the Mac Book Pro), and its funny, this little laptop runs circles around my older tower. SO yes, I can see the reason for buy a new intel tower, but for what I do the laptop is the most versatile INHO. The only draw back is no firewire port on it.

Yes!

What's the rush? There's a good hour fifteen left.... slacker. ;-)

I fell asleep waiting for the h.264 render to complete. Woke up literally 15 minutes ago. Thought I'd missed the deadline for sure that time.

Congrats on getting another one done... more than I can say!

Rodney V. Smith · 10-30-2009, 10:09 AM

Thank you guys for all of your support through the past couple of weeks. It's been rough going just getting this thing completed. I wondered at times if it was even worth it, but I'll have to say that it's ALWAYS worth it to get out there and do something. You learn more from your mistakes than what you got right.

ANyway, just wanted to thank you guys directly. You've been very supportive (especially in encouraging me to get a Mac :-P ) and you're a good reminder of what makes this community great.

UPLOAD CONFIRMED.
