My film school (it's new, founded in 1999, and very small, only one house-sized building) has only a few FCP stations set up.
I found them busy, but noticed the graphite iMac in the office, with no one using it.
So I asked if sit there, and get some my hands dirty with FCP a little more, as my skills and understanding are a bit shaky.
Historically, I have always found the gumdrop to be limited, and have never taken it as a serious computer.
But as I sat at the gumdrop, and started to work, I was surprised at how everything was just so.....spot on.
The ports were accessible, the drive was right there, the screen was still small, but it was just 'right there' and somehow intimate, the silence was deafening, the speakers were crisp and sharp, and after a few minutes, it was just my eyes, my mouse, my keybaord and the screen......
I guess I've only learned to respect the gumdrop in retrospect.
Still, I'm getting a new iMac or lowend Powermac, but I was kinda of amused by the whole nostalgia for something I never owned.

My signature irritates people. However, my cat can still jump a watermelon, and the Apollo is the next chip coming to the Powermac line. Although, at this point, I'd believe that Cyrix is the next...
