wow, how inferior a mindset. go back and read the post . . i simply said
that the statement wasn't mine, but extracted from an interview and
personally i was rather excited. when i met thelma schoonmaker in NYC at
NAB post last october and asked her about the statement regarding avid
products and hollywood, she conferred. btw, if you don't know know who she
is because of the babling time eating up your ability to reach out and touch
someone, she was the editor for martin on the movie "the aviator" among many
many others.
it's not my 90%'r, it was just a reference to an interview where the
statement was made and although it was news to me, i was able to confirm the
statement as reasonably reliable through a number of creditable sources.
let the anglo saxon legalism go for gosh sakes, there's more benefit to life
working with people instead of against them :o(
