FCP is the absolute best video editing software around. it is used worldwide and in major editing studios. Why on earth would you want to go to a wintel computer running avid?! If you are a movie editor and buying some extra hard disks just isnt worth it to you then you may be in the wrong field. yes, i agree that the compatablity issue is dumb, but then again, you didnt check before "throwing money at that machine" so isnt it partly your fault? i hope that you can resolve this issue and never think about "reverse switching" again. regards, Camron
