#Ami Imagine 3.1
Bud,

I agree, but I didn't make the purchasing decisions.
The fact of the matter is, though, that the Avid is getting steadily better.
Remember that the Avid can produce different resolutions depending on storage
requirements. The current top resolution is so close to true online quality
that only an engineering type can spot the tiny differences. The new release
of software, due out in early December, has an even higher resolution.
Ultimately these systems will replace conventional edit systems. It's just a
matter of how long it will take for compression and storage technologies to
reach the appropriate point.
