Offically delisted from the NASDAQ http://finance.yahoo.com/news/avid-receives-anticipated-nasdaq-delist-131500324.html Avid® (AVID) announced that as expected, it received a notification letter from NASDAQ on February 21, 2014 indicating that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Hearings Panel had determined to delist the shares of the Company from The NASDAQ Stock Market and, accordingly, suspend trading in the Company's shares effective at the open of business on Tuesday, February 25, 2014.

With the 633 out it guessing it should put the pricing of used 744t's down quite a bit.

Pretty much all Windows laptops come with USB ports and a SD slot. Reaper might be a good soution for your recording needs. $60 donation for a full DAW. http://www.reaper.fm/

Price is right. Might have to sign up for spam email to get it though. http://www.waves.com/lpn/black-friday/free-plugin-pre-signup

$95 at Oktava USA http://www.oktavausa.com/ProductsPages/MK-012Capsules.html I have found the Oktava is actually on the short side for the shock mounts I have. YMMV

For a lot less than the price of the Oktava high pass. Shure A15HP http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/68602-REG/Shure_A15HP_A15HP_Hi_Pass_Filter.html

Better yet send out some Heliax for a couple jobs. They will love getting the 9913 back.

This actually says a lot about the design

If anyone is interested a web search on "long wire antenna theory" can be educational.

If you do another one maybe you could test against a random cut of wire 1 to 3 meters long for an antenna. I think the results would be very interesting.

The circular polarazation to linear polarity loss is going to cost you 3dB of the claimed gain. Take a good look at the return losses on the spec sheet. http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/316692/file-354622979-pdf/CP_Beam_Antenna_Specifications.pdf

Thinking the only thing in the series 12 inches long was the ME 88 capsule but its been a long time since I have seen one.

K3 and a K6

For remote switching you can often find Transco RF relays on Ebay for a good price. Pretty much bullet proof and cost a small fortune new.

The major issue with UHF frequencies are high coax losses with a remote antennas. Not a problem when antennas are directly attached.

Currently looks like E5's are only available up to 8 core even though Apple says the MP will support up to a 12 core processor.

Looks like the same ad is up on Portlands CL. I would say that is somewhat suspicious. http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cwg/3901869839.html They seemed to have raised $40 towards their season 2 budget with 5 days left. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/slapped-season-2

Read one of the limitations of Thunderbolt is it will only work with single processors. That will limit any new Mac Pro from ever being a top contender in the "fastest" category.

Didn't the early iMacs have 75% drive failure rate due to heat and had to be redesigned?

Still on CS5 but the CS6 manual is here. http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/audition_reference.pdf

If you have to lay out a $1000 for a chassis just to use one PCI card its going to hurt. Data storage also has the potential for costing a lot more depending on your needs.

I could see it as a network workstation. For a stand alone its going to suck.

From what I read everything is going to be external. Add $1200 for a RAID drive enclosure (without drives) and another $1000 for the PCI chassis.
