Say no more !
Yrs ago I was a tech mgr for a non-linear dry hire editing co.
We were early adopters of Lightworks ( bless them ) but market forces meant we had to offer Avid too. That's where I gained my limited but handy Mac knowledge. I did Avid's tech course 400 if that means anything btw. I even got a pretty piece of card to display about the fact.
I gather Avid's now all on PCs now since Apple dropped computers with enough PCI slots to do the job.

p.s and don't mention the word Micropolis ! See other thread regarding drive reliability.
