As a result of this I will have to send the machine off for repair for a second time. Luckily the machine is still under warranty so the only challenge is finding a day off and bringing it for maintenance. <\/p>\n<p>It had to fail this weekend, on Saturday afternoon only once all the shops had closed. It means that getting the machine maintained will be a little more of a challenge. The second challenge of course is that I&#8217;m meant to do two days of editing on Tuesday and Wednesday and I may not have a computer. <\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve got to love trade unionists for making sure shops are closed on a Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>Now the question is what to do next. Do I buy a new macbook pro as the new version of finalcut pro came out or do I invest in a far cheaper computer running linux. In fact do I forget about PC and Apple and go Linux all the way. <\/p>\n<p>It could be quite fun, once winter comes back to build a linux based video editing system where I understand the hardware. You know I&#8217;m not going to get far with that project. <\/p>\n<p>On the positive end of the spectrum I&#8217;m in full time employment with three different types of work I&#8217;m asked to do so buying a new machine is no problem. It&#8217;s just a matter of whether I have the necessity right now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>For the second time in a little over a year the video card on my macbook pro has failed and I am left with the black screen of death.
