Hi everyone. I have been away for a couple of weeks and stuck in Orlando 
while newark was closed. at any rate I made it clear that I consider 
myself a technician annd not an Artiste.
 I believe my point was that I ,who am (sic way low budget to begin with 
am  now being out priced by even less encumbered lower budget 
entrepreneuers. Cheers for them. 9 years ago the guys with D2's and 
Paintboxes said the same thing abouut me and my video Toaster. True. 
What goes around... True. Suckit up and learn more. True. It is not the 
tools . True.
 I am seinf the end of Video as a business for me. Sad.
