Avid Media Composer v5.5.2

It's been 15 months since I last posted.

Well the big news is after 3 1/2 years of using the same operating system in my iMac, I have upgraded my Mac OS to Snow Leopard, upgraded my Avid Media Composer editing system to v5.5.2 and upgraded to Microsoft Office 2011. Can you believe I was stuck with Tiger for the last three and a half years? I never upgraded to Leopard. What set off the chain of events was when the Hewlett-Packard printer I had used for the last four years suffered a serious paper jam in early April. A small piece of paper was stuck in an area of the printer I could not fish out. It was also jamming up the ink carriage. I decided to get a new printer, but the new printer I wanted required that I upgrade my Mac OS to either Leopard or Snow Leopard. It would not work on Tiger. That meant I had to upgrade my Avid Media Composer editing system to work with a version that would work on Snow Leopard. The one I had only worked on Tiger. Plus I also had to buy a new LaCie Firewire Hard Disk because my old one was formatted on Tiger and I needed an extra hard disk to empty out the contents so that I could reformat my old hard disk to Snow Leopard. Someone told me if you open a video-editing file on your hard disk formatted for an OS that is older than the OS in your computer, it would mess up your file and cause it to crash. I couldn't just pass the contents to my iMac because it only had 120GB of available hard disk space and the contents in my old LaCie hard disk took up 110GB. So I bought a new hard disk that had 1TB of disk space, transferred everything from the old to the new and reformatted my old hard disk drive. Plus I also transferred all my JPEG and video files in my iMac to my new hard disk drive to free up space, so now my iMac has 200GB of available disk space.

Plus my new printer can also scan documents and make copies like a copier.
