darn, i wish i had a rant mode on my machine. must be because it's not a
mac :o) i do have tha PO'd version software though, we ought to sell it . .
anyone have interest in a used FCP license? i doubt anyone would want it
though. it has darts in it. they use it for target practice. we have this
thing in our office regarding who has to get coffee and the one who is
furthest from the eye has to go get coffee for everyone. our version has a
use after all :o)
BTW mike, have a nice RnR and be sure and take your cam and get some shoots
in just for the fun of it :o)
