MovieCutter-
That would be great, I'll have to see if I could do $200 though. I know that's a great deal for FCPHD, but I may be a bit short at the moment. Let me know if you find the disc!

Final Cut Pro 4, HD (4.5) or 5, Motion 2, SoundTrack Pro, or DVD Studio Pro 4. Just dropped $2400 on a MBP so I can't afford Final Cut Studio, but I'm...

Alright, that's the last straw... if mine doesn't ship on Monday, I'm going to become the ultimate customer service nightmare for Apple. I expect a complimentary 30" ACD for my trouble, too. And...

Just ordered a 2.0 w/ 7200, estimated ship date is April 7th. Which gives me the impression that Apple just uses the furthest possible date within their initial estimate (2-3 weeks).

Just to clarify, Apple only carries stock 2.0's in-store, right?

Wow, that's nuts. But, in that case I would imagine the 100/120gig difference is fairly negligible for a serious editor, and thus not worth the slower rpms. (for the record, I think anything less...
