(I still envy your signed portable, super_ed. all i have is a signed GM|06 program and a photo with him.)

Manilaaaaah!!!

hehe. Well he does vector artwork so its not as power hungry as doing pixel work.

(I also had my pbook signed but its kinda faded since i had it on the palmrest area.)

Astig talaga si Joshua! And he's second unit is a Macbook Pro! Thats what I call maximizing your firepower.

that guy is awsome.. just shows that you dont really have to have the pro models to do a great job... his work is inspiring...

a classic example of "wala sa pana yan, nasa indian"

I still need a Macbook Pro though! Some conventional graphics work really needs some serious 3D graphics card horrsepower. And After Effects is one of them.

I have to emphasize this. A lot of people in the creative biz (me included) tend to obess too much on the most powerful tools (fastest Mac/PC, high end cameras, most expensive scanners etc) and tend to overpay for what we use when years before artists and designers have been designing countless works of great art in many fields on much lesser hardware.

Imagine working on graphics in 1998 or even 1985.

epekto yan ng Reality Distortion Field ni Steve hehe

Well, he did max out his Mini, and yes, dvsadvocate, since I understand you are into video editing, your requirements are different from working purely on vector. I wish you can have your MBP (or, marloalpha's G5)

I can vouch for working on complex graphics using memory hog apps in 1995-98 on a medium-config (e.g. not maxed out) PC! And what a process it was :slanted: which I always likened to pregnancy and giving birth.
