For some reason I'm getting this vision... The signal is very strong...

Of course. It's also going to have SHARKS... with LASERS!

I also understand that the MacPro with have Snake on a Plane. In all seriousness though, I doubt the debut of the Mac Pro is going to have blu-ray. Blu-ray just BARELY hit the ma…

Very doubtful it will have blu-ray. The write speeds of BD is down right crappy at the moment. Perhaps we will be surprised, but at this moment in time, I don't think BD is ready f…

I wouldn't at all be surprised if it had Blu-ray, but if it did, it'd be an add-on option... for $$$$. P.S. harrisjamieh, DVD Studio Pro already supports HD-DVD.

Perhaps Apple will also release some decent BluRay authoring tools... the only one available currently, from Sony, only supports MPEG2.

OK, this discussion is no longer any fun.

Saw a news item at MacMinute about a DL Gambler's Sale? I'd check it out, except that I can't load the website. What's the word? I'd like to bite, but without any info about a rele…
