Everyone wants to use Final Cut these days. I've used Final Cut plenty. It's nice. But it's not appreciably better than Adobe Premiere or Avid Composer.

I was actually turned down for a job recently because I don't own a Mac. You may cry bullshit, but it's true. The interview went well, I had all the skills they were looking for, they were liking me just fine, they liked my demo DVD, they asked me if I could use Final Cut, I said "yes I can use Final Cut" they then asked "Do you use a Mac at home?" and I said "No.", and the change in the room was palpable. Interview was over shortly after. Never heard from them again.

Mac Snobs.

Well listen up Mac Snobs. I can't afford your $2800 for your lousy Mac Pro (which only comes with a paltry 2 GBs of memory and then you want to charge an extra $499.00 for 2 more Gigs of Memory? What kind of dickhead do you think I am? DDR memory only costs $49 a stick for Windows machines!)

However, I can afford $299 for a Quadcore CPU and Motherboard bundle, and $100 for a copy of Leopard, and me and my little Hackintosh will laugh ourselves silly all the way to the bank. (I also picked up an unopened copy of Final Cut Pro from a guy on Craigslist for $150. No idea where he got it.)
