Tapeless camcorders now Mac vs. PC AGAIN ROFL 89

Well I don't know about dreams but actually, for many (as is well documented here) the Apple-Mac experience is a good one, often superior to the PC experience. Not necessarily for everyone. The only overstatement I can think of is giving one the false impression that Apple gear never has any problems which is an impossibility.
AND, the above statement is the picture that is often demonstrated by folks in here and in typical Mac...
I do believe that since their control of the hardware and software is a reason they lead the industry in lowest rates of repairs and customer satisfaction plus have much lower long-term cost and IT-related issues. I don't think your experience was inherent in anything. I think you got a lemon.
It is very common for IT people at agencies we've dealt with to shoot down an endusers' request for a Macintosh solution. They aren't familiar with it and they don't want to support it. What you are talking about here is that you and your team would have had an easier time fixing a problem with PCs because you're more familiar with them. No argument there. Where solutions are comparable I agree with others who say if you are used to Mac, use Mac and if you're used to PC, use PC. The unfamiliar is often uncomfortable unless you're looking forward to it and then if you're disappointed, well...you know the rest.
Honestly, I think you'll find there have been dramatically more incidents of issues with Pinnacle over the years than Apple, just to name one. I agree that any solution should be researched. But you are not speaking out against Liquid broadly because your Liquid experience has been fine. Hopefully anyone will look at a broad scope of feedback before making a decision.
