NAB 2002
The desktop is where the action is
by Paulo de Andrade
This year’s NAB was a very interesting and exciting show. Because of the economy and September 11, attendance was down noticeably from last year.

Avid Users Lured by Black Lace Teddy
Final Cut Pro: Transition babe or perfect replacement?
by Charlie White
Avid is running scared from Final Cut Pro. The long-term marriage between Avid and its huge corps of customers is getting stale, and those users are getting roving eyes.

It can display an extraordinary amount of pixels, 3,145,728 to be exact, and is capable of an astounding 2048 x 1536 resolution. This monster is the brightest monitor you'll ever see. But then, for a whopping $5790, it better be.
