Final Cut Studio
Well, I went out and did the dirty deed -- I purchased Apple’s Final Cut Studio for my PowerMac G5. And, like the giddy geek that I am, I photographed the unveiling so that I could relive the moment over and over again.
First of all, the package itself is impressive. For all of its weight, you’d think that it might contain the entire Windows 2003 Server Resource Kit.
However, when you lift the cover and slip the main box open to its side, you can see that there are embedded Apple goodies.
When I poked the big box in the throat, it puked out two upright containers full of manuals and software.
Which, of course, when turned around and “posed” for the picture, shows no less than eight main manuals and maybe a couple of small starter books. The real beauty is when you throw it all over the floor.
Well, maybe not “throw” per se, but possibly “neatly arrange” as if it is the spoils of a victory over a neighboring enemy (someone swing the incense before the parading prisoners).
This is, without a doubt, the largest package of software I’ve yet encountered. About half of those disks are DVD-ROMs with loads of content for LiveType, Soundtrack Pro and DVD Studio Pro. Just think of the possibilities.
Thank you for indulging me. It’s not every day I get to spend that kind of wad on some “light” reading and several pieces of polycarbonate plastic. Oh yeah, pardon my toes.
