Depending on build price, it looks like a new iMac might be in my stocking for Christmas (if I've been good). The question I've got relates to external storage, specifically using USB 3 or thunderbolt for streaming footage

In the past I've build machines with internal drives for editing and dumped to an external disc for storage. It's been a while since I waded into the detail, so are these new I/O formats fast enough to work with if footage lives on an external USB 3 drive?

Basically I don't want to sink lots of money into flash storage if I can avoid it, your expertise would be appreciated.

So France is behind us, and we're currently dealing with Italian railways. Chaps, I'm in dire need of a shandy.

Jimmy, we'll be stopping in Glasgow for a night on our way through, but won't be able to have a late one as we need to kick on in the wee hours. You fancy a brief trip up?

I reckon you're rubbish, mate. Although I'd have fancied a pint in Paris, but that would have made for an expensive pint with the whole train trip.

Not to mention Paris is full of tourists, I hear the Parisians hate that.

I live in Bloomsbury (central London) if you're in the area. Check out the Prince Charles Cinema too - lots of retro trilogies, etc.

We're staying near Trafalgar Square so you're pretty damn close. I'd planned on catching Skyfall while we're in town, it seemed only right to see a Bond film when in London.

Good morning from Paris. We'll be in the UK from the 25th, starting in Edinburgh and heading south-ish. Anyone fancy a pint?

While I agree that it did devolve into silliness, it's one of those films that needs to be taken in context of the time, and it did freak a lot of people out.

That said, so did Mayan calendars. And killer bees.

This was the first of the "found footage" things that many of us experienced, and I remember friends discussing if it was real or not.

So I'm wondering if all the ugness felt towards Prometheus might just go/disappear when parts 2+3 have come out and the complete story is told.

My counter question would be does more stupid make stupid better?

Fan-projects and a steady corporate job works for me for the time being. My game is won if I can look after my family, make things move on screen, and contribute to something I'm proud of.
