My girlfriend bought me fce1 for xmas. About two days after, I installed it. I started using it and almost immediately felt disapppointed. I wasn't really impressed. I actually was wishing I could return it. I know it's a powerful app, but...THEN the rumors began. FCE2. Sure enough it arrived. With the exact features that had me so bummed cuz version 1 was misssing. The god damn software was like two weeks old and Apple dropped the update. Kinda feels like a slap to the face, punch in the gut or maybe even a swift kick to the balls. Thanks Apple. Your annual 130$ upgrade +50$ and not to mention iTools....has all been awesome. Granted I kick in the 99$ a year for .mac-it's worth it...50$ for iLife-it's worth it. 130$ upgrade...yearly. Guess I just feel like it's an elaborate scheme designed to bring us in....with empty promises.
