You're being silly.  A B&W G3 can utilize Final Cut 1, 2 & 3, Premier 5, 6 &
6.5, Avid suites, Video Shop 3 - now, Movie-Maker, etc. etc.  You go on Ebay
and spend a hundred bucks and get to work.  You work in 9 and you get a Fuse
card with FCP2 and you have a pro set up.  You get a Cinewave card and you
have an uncompressed pro set up.  For heaven's sake, all these machines were
used for pro application at one time or another.  Do you think these
capabilities went out the window?  CONTEXT.
