From: jarret langmeire To: AE-List@media-motion.tv Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=f46d0401236f4cbb7404c2b73aa8 --f46d0401236f4cbb7404c2b73aa8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi everyone, Given the current state of the MacPro line and the fact that I don't think I can stick around until 2013 for the new "maybe" MacPro, I'm wondering whether a hackintosh is an option? I have reached the point where I'm having to look at alternatives but given the many thousands I have tied up in software, I'm very reluctant to move away from the MacOS. I've been scouring the web and there seem to be a lot of mixed feelings about the hackintosh and whether or not it's worth it but I really want to hear from people who may have been using such a setup to run After Effects in a high-end production environment. Thanks in advance, Jarret --f46d0401236f4cbb7404c2b73aa8 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi everyone,
