Phil- The installed base of Avid's in this country alone is over 10 thousand-
Are you saying that there are 200-300 Thousand premire setups out there?
And you know as well as I do that Avid's are not exclusive for "high end
broadcast". Avid's are installed in Small production houses, high schools,
colleges, corporate communications offices, Advertising agencies, Just about
every General Motors plant there is. etc.... The reason the "high end
broadcast" and film folks use Avid systems is because they work. They work
well, and like a dog, 24/7. And despite the other packages out there- If you
want to give students an edge going into this market, with the best
possibilities for a job, you teach them on an Avid. Same reason we don't use
cars from the UK for our drivers ed- It has to be done right.
