Film Final
*sigh* I hope my instructor is understanding. Otherwise I failed. I hate Microsoft. Deeply and intensely, more than I've ever hated anything. I put three weeks into the writing and planning of my movie, 4 days into filming it, and 2 full days into doing the editing. It was perfect. It would have been the best movie in the class.
Except that Windows is the most awful piece of junk in the world. :/ It _WOULD NOT_ output my movie to video tape correctly. I spent 6 hours trying to write a 7 minute movie to tape but all of my work was ruined. About every 30 seconds there was a half second of black space in my movie which cut into important scenes and dialog and broke up the flow... And this was the BEST version I got. I've output dozens of short films using the same software and never before had this problem. :( I have one of the fastest processors on the market (1.8Ghz AMD) and 512M of the absolute fastest memory available. (2600 DDR), A pretty-fast harddrive and Firewire and yet Windows was STILL not able to perform as well as a Macintosh 660AV made in 1990. :/ My next computer is a Mac. I'm sick of Windows.

Bleech.
apple/mac compuers are GOOD for this. it's pretty much what their main use is, I think.
By way of example, an imac out performed an athlon running at 1.5 ghz, with a geforce 4 card, and 256mb of ddr ram. and it was running bryce 5, while the imac was running bryce 3. And this was just an _Imac_ with 128 or 64 megs of ram. just think of what a G4 would do. ^^
on the other hand, trying to play various video games on a mac just isn't so good...and os9 has some other problems with it. and osX eats up resources for it's GUI... but all in all, I'd say that both types of systems have their places. and linux has it's place too.
not going to say that any one of them's better than the other overall, but...for specific uses? you can't beat each system on it's own turf, I think.
that's WHY there's mac os, windows, winNT, linux, unix, and os/2. to every thing, it's own use. and I'm ranting, so I'll just be quiet now. *^^*;
