Avid Users here?

Yeah, With so many different product lines, when they start mixing and matching abilities, it can seem like you either won or lost depending on which version you bought into. I bought XpressDv 3.5 and paid extra for filmscribe and other stuff, they started to give away free later on. It's a tough game.

I have one. It's not a very sweet machine. I would have rathered they just add firewire capabilities to the meridien line. lol
no kidding. It was quite a downgrade from the Symphony I traded in on it. They have not tried hard to compete in a long time.

Xpress pro on an ancient P4, and also on my fairly new Macbook Pro, installed on Windows XP through bootcamp.

At my office we have a Mac Pro with leopard running Symphony 3.5.4 with a Nitris DX and a HP 8200 workstation running XP and Symphony 3.5.4 teamed with a Nitris Classic. Personally I like working with the PC more but the Mac is a faster computer and we also have it hooked up to a realllllly fast RAID aside from our Unity that they are both connected to. Plus we have software Avids running on our Final Cut computers and and other various PC's.

I have 2 PC Avids, a xw8200 with Adrenaline, and a xw8400 with analog Mojo. Both have paid for themselves many times over.
