Mike: >You have probably reviewed it already but if not I will put in my plug for a system here. You might want to look at the ///FAST Video Machine Lite ( Linear Version rund around $2,500 ) I probably hold a biased opinion since I run a Video Machine ( full fledged version ) but I realy think it is an unbeatable product for the price.< No, I haven't :(((–but, boy, I wish I could!!! Everything I've heard about Fast's Video Machine Lite is enough to make me break the 10th Commandment–repeatedly…<G> Sadly, doesn't look like I'll get a chance now–at least for VIDEO. I just found out they've been sold to Hachette, which means I'm not even sure *I'll* be writing for them after this… Best, Tim

Hi Tim, >> Sadly, doesn't look like I'll get a chance now–at least for VIDEO. I just found out they've been sold to Hachette, which means I'm not even sure *I'll* be writing for them after this… << Well I tell ya what…I will write them and tell them what a great guy you are and how I miss all the wounderfull information I get from your articles. Then I will treaten them with bad publicity and all that stuff. Then shurly after a guy with my kinda clout gets through with them you will have a life long position !!!. Or of course they could always say "Michael WHO????? from Falcon WHAT??????…..Listen budy quit harassing us or we'll call the FBI!!!" Come to think of it I don't have any clout so thats probably what they would do. :-)))) Regards, Michael W. Towe Falcon Video Productions Santee Ca.

Thank you for your support…" <VBG> Seriously, Mike–thanks! OTOH, given that VIDEO's going over to home theatre, I'm not sure I'd be that interested (or capable)… OTOOH, if they *do* decide to also deal w/multimedia & DTV, I'm suddenly VERY interested…<g> Best, Tim (here's hoping!)

<<if they *do* decide to also deal w/multimedia & DTV, I'm suddenly VERY interested.>> Read in USA Today that the number one demand job in this decade is "Multimedia programmer/producer'. Salaries can run to $100,000, and the estimated current demand is around 39,000 people world wide and climbing.
