So you say. But again, we have no way to verify where you're coming from
because again, you didn't post who you are, where you work, or what you
do.
The paragraph below remains simply what you purport.
No way for us to judge the veracity of anything simply because it
appears as a string of usenet text, is there?

Excellent. Here's your chance for a public promo. What TV do you
produce?
And I assume that instead of meaning that YOU ARE AN EDITING HOUSE, the
sentence should have read "I *own* or *operate* or *am employed by* an
editing house" which is also excellent. Which one? Where is it? Who are
your clients.
Larry Jandro, Myself, Bill Farnsworth, Craig Berlin, Steve King, Mike
Kujbida, and countless others who have posted here have done so in the
open. We know who everyone is, where they work, and we all have
verifiable levels of technical or functional expertise.
You see, at this point you're merely a "handle". So let us know where
you're coming from.
In point of fact, when I've shot in other US locations, I've flown
talent from right here on r.v.p. around the country to work on some of
my corporate gigs.
So if you have this much personal expertise, why not simply let everyone
openly know who you are?

Sorry you had problems, but really, how can we judge if your experience
is relavent to US unless we understand more than you're telling us.
How big is your market. What level of expertise SHOULD the Mac folks
there have had. An "authorized repair facility" in, for example,
Portland Oregon should have excellent resources. One in Portland Maine,
perhaps not so robust.
As for one in Hooterville, we'd might expect you'd be lucky if they
could SPELL "return merchandise authorization" properly every time.
So who you are and where you are IS a reasonable part of the discussion.
Enlighten us, please.

Since you didn't qualify your statement in any way, I assume you purport
that this is absolute, reproducible fact ALL THE TIME and in all
situations. Do your REALLY think that this the case? If so, I can see
why you think that each and every one of us Mac users are absolute
dunderheaded idiots.
But does that include the men and women who use FCP to cut major movies
and episodic TV, stuff like the Super Bowl, the Olympics, and right now
a bunch of the FILA world cup soccer coverage world wide including
Japan's NHK who are using FCP and Apple stuff to do their High
Definition World Cup coverage?
It's pretty amazing that ALL of us are so stupid - yet we keep managing
to muddle by.
Or maybe your opinion is the result of an isolated poor experience and
it's time you got over thinking about it as the universal truth for
everyone?
Ya think?
Waiting to hear back.
