This is what's wrong with our country!

[Jon Reynolds]

ok, i will apply myself and really put some effort into it ;) I have a
friend who is a mac guru that uses OS 9.?(1) and he just made a DVD not an
mpeg or avi, but a real dvd that plays in my home theater system, the
quality is amazing and I am able to browse through the dvd'd menus just like
i would with one from blockbuster or some other video store. For A/V stuff I
would only work on a MAC. Also, come to think of it, you can run OS 9.?
within OS X, just like running windows inside linux with VMWare, that might
be the cleanest solution, the best of both worlds and no windows.

No worries mate!  It was just a joke!  You'll have to actually put some
effort into getting me upset!

Something like the fact that I will be installing WIN2K in my house (the
first MS product on one of my machines in I can't remember how long) so I
can do some serious Video Editing.  I have tried everything I can find for
Linux and it is just not there.  I also tried everything for BeOS and it is
very low end (BeOS is such an awesome platform for multimedia).  I almost
decided to buy a Mac and use OSX, but there is no software (video editing or
otherwise) written for OSX and I can't see buying and extremely expensive
computer to do what my existing systems can do with WIN2K and Adobe.

I think I would prefer to chew off my own foot than use windows, but sandi
and I have become pretty serious about producing brodcast quality shows and
we have few options.
