A few years back, Sony rocked Comdex by pulling out out of the show, spurring a rash of speculations and rumors. But once the initial smoke had cleared and people began to crunch the numbers, it was clear what Sony knew and what had prompted their decision. This week, Avid has been generating similar press and speculation after their press release yesterday saying that Avid would not be on the expo floor of NAB 2008.

Cancellation/Hold Fees

What labtop should be bought
Over the past couple of years, I have tried a LOT of laptops from different manufacturers, but have hated all of them, primarily due to their poor reliability. I have been using an Apple MacBook Pro for the past 8 months and it is honestly the best laptop I have purchased. (PS: I run Windows on it)
