@daviesgeek budget for a new hard disk on every job so you can retain original data copies, and just throw in the ones you are using that day/week. Remote desktop in from your Mac, and boom!

@stuffe yup. I'll come to you guys for help when I get there...maybe next fall...

I hope....

Good solution. I'll keep them in mind when I do actually get there...

@jrg it was 5AM at the time.

I'm still a bit confused about the management of custom playlists in iTunes 11.. :( sniff

No more drag and drop.

Wow, being around for a year has it's upsides...I have consistently got at least one badge a day from various sites for there last few months...

@kyle I just remembered why I didn't want a Mac Pro...no Thunderbolt and no USB 3.0 (?)

@daviesgeek hm, good point, I forgot about that

it can be worked around - most stuff you'd use TB or USB3 for you can get PCI cards for - but it is a definite downside

@daviesgeek Well, I blame Apple™ for not updating the most powerful Mac in the universe.

@gentmatt It's coming next year, when Cook said one line would be made in the US, this is the line. It's not got any of that fancy miniature stuffe that makes ipads and laptops hard to assemble, and they won't make many (comparatively), so they can afford to make it inthe US and then brag that they have brought some manufacturing home.

@KyleCronin Yes, but I'd rather have it built right in...2013 maybe? Tim said somethin' would be coming...

@gentmatt YES!!! I'm not happy with them...even though I may not get a Mac Pro, it shows that Apple isn't really paying attention to the pros/prosumers
