The new issue of Creative COW Magazine is one that we feel may be the best issue we have ever done. It is filled with ideas, techniques and the experience of some highly experienced pros whose credits include The Green Mile, Rain Man and many other A-List projects.
If you are looking for the easy way out and a look like many other video projects done using canned looks, this is not the issue for you. But if you want real world advice from top experts that are at the top of their craft, then you won't want to miss this newest issue of Creative COW Magazine. It's definitely a keeper!

EDIT YOUR OWN POSTS
If you look at the light red area above, you'll see a new link "Edit Your Post" which you will find inside any new post that you have added to the forum.
There are two restrictions to this mechanism: You can only edit your post for the first 30 minutes, after that, it locks.
If someone responds before the 30 minutes is up, it locks.
RANK AND COMMENT ON ARTICLES
We have also added the ability to comment on all Creative COW articles. You will find the "Comment" link at the bottom of all of our articles.
RANK CREATIVE COW FORUMS POSTS
You can also rank all Creative COW posts. Doing so also effects the weighting that our new search engine uses to display search results. If you sort by "Relevance," you will get the 5 COW posts served at the top with lower rated results appearing further down.
SURF SUBJECTS USING OUR NEW 'TAG' PAGES
Lastly, we have added a new "tagged" subjects ability that will let you surf pages related to your interests. You can find the "tags" links in both the light orange sub-navigation bar on any of our forums and also on our search engine page.
Watch for more new features coming in next week's newsletter.

SAS RAID from Dulce Systems
Creative COW Contributing Editor Bob Zelin talks about the latest step in the Serial Attached Storage revolution: full RAID 5 protection with read speeds over 350 mb/sec. from Dulce Systems. At least that's what Dulce claimed. When he heard the rest of what Dulce had to say, Bob simply didn't believe them. When he put those claims to the test, he got a lot more than he bargained for. Will you?
