Event Photography and Apple Mac

I'm selling a Tri-Prisim program key that has unlimited usage for $1500. It'll Save you a couple of bucks. Their support is secound to none. No complaints.

Thanks for the offer. In light of the forthcoming world wide ecomonic downturn, saving a few pennies is always to be appreciated.

Prey tell...Then, why are you then selling the key? JC

Further research has convinced me that using a laptop both has a Viewing Station and printing Hub is a bad idea. So I've decided to employ an iMac has a Viewing Station, leaving the laptop to do the rest . I can pick up a nice used iMac for next to nothing (the new iMacs are a bad idea due to their flat screen and the issue of transportation thereof). I've dramatically changed my mind as regards the printer. I am now of the opinion that either Olympus P-400 or the Kodak 8500 is the way to go. I should be able to purchase either machines for under £800 and on a one year interest free credit deal. I've also just read on another thread a PS action for a Green Screen background. Things are getting interesting.

You might also want to consider an eMac. Right now I believe that they are about $800 new.

It's got a CRT screen etc.

I have an iMac DV that we take with us to the various shoots that I need to show the client images on a "real monitor" (a client quote - after having viewed images on a laptop) TENBA makes cases for the iMac and they hold up well.

JanAL makes cases for the eMac these are more of a ATA flight case style. So it's going to add more weight.

Both of these case companies have websites if you'd like to check out their offerings.

Cheers,
Phil

Phil!

Do we know each other because you have been reading my mind. In the UK, the E-Macs are really under valued machines and this morning I saw them being advertised on the Shayle Website for £600 (for a 1 Ghz Combo). As for the cases, I may have to have them made for me, cos neither of the companies you have mention sell these cases in the UK. I think Sully and Mulder maybe wanting to have a word with you. Anyway I've got to move fast, if I'm to catch the XMAS rush! Thanx again for the tips.

In regards to your question on the Tri-Prisim Key.
I've decided to take my photography in a different direction. Working on-line and assignment work. I enjoy using mac versus PC for alot of reasons and found the people at Tri-Prisim to be very helpful.

Does anyone know what $1500 is in pound sterling? Good luck with the change in direction, Mark. Everyone is having a hard time of it at the moment, either side of the pond. You have to do, what you have to do to live and survive....Or am I sounding off like Donald Rumsfeld. John
