You did miss on that one:-). But haven't we all taken the wrong fork at times?
I remember the first time I edited with an Avid operator. It was at First Edition in New York, probably around 1987, although I'm not sure of the date. Those pixels were big! But it sure made the process faster than it was when working on a KEM or Movieola. On the old machines, we'd edit with the film, so we had strips hanging all over the room. Sometimes after a ten hour session in the edit room, the editor could get really testy when his assistant couldn't find the piece that started with the red car and ended with the lady smiling:-). Cutting cellulose was no fun.
