Z, obviously you've never used ProTools

"There will be other cards that do.

5.5 V is old crap."

That much is plainly obvious, that you don't know "thing one" about the product. There are no "other cards that do" . For a product like digi001, the card is an integrated part of the product, a product that is still currently available, I might add.

Tell ya what: YOU go tell someone who shelled out over a grand 3 to 6 months ago, that they can't use their expensive studio stuff if they buy a new machine. See what kind of brand loyalty that gets you.

This is one of the few areas where Apple still has a viable niche, & every time they make these processor shifts, they make the same mistake. It happened with the switch from B/W G3 towers to Grey G4 towers too. Ticking off some of their most loyal customers in the process. No wonder Apple's market share is on a continual down hill slide. It's just bad business, and a really stupid decision.
