I wanna spend money

[erilyn]

But I really shouldn't. But I really want Quicktime Pro.

Oh, the indecision.

Don't do that. If you buy something you'll be a bad example for me and I just might have to go out and get an iPod instead of waiting until I have everything settled again!

Because, it is all about me, remember! *weg*

I have it for Mac - do you want to be convinced into it or out of it?

I have quicktime pro, I think it's worth it.

I have quicktime 5 pro, and it makes many many problems go away in vidding. It makes many things possible in vidding.

But they want $30 more for QT6Pro regardless of whether you bought QT5Pro or not. This I find asshatly and am resisting.

I'm fairly sure I want it and that'd be good - I just wish I could get it for less than $US30. If it was $A30, I'd buy it, but $50 or so is starting to look less justified.

I'm just being a cheapskate :)

Y'know...I hear that some *highly* unethical people make software such as this available for free, via some highly questionable (ok, illegal) methods.
It's quite likely that someone you know may be engaged in such activities.
Not that I'm condoning such activities of course....just making conversation...

Ah, that was something I was wondering about, whether the purchase included upgrades. Thanks :)

I suspect I will get it, because I keep getting tempted to try vidding, and it seems to do some of the stuff that has held me back previously.

Thanks! Nice to hear actual people I know opinion's on this :)

But how much is an iPod vs QTPro? Don't do it, that's an order! :)

[alasen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's $59 at the australian apple store.

Not that I have any software (*cough* Photoshop *cough* Dreamweaver) that has been acquired like that.

Bastards. By current exchange rates, it shouldn't be anymore than $50.

[alasen.livejournal.com]

unfortunately i don't think the pricing has anything to do with exchange rates, or probably macs would be cheaper here..
i guess you can get it from the us store, though?

if you want to play around with my version on the weekend (if you haven't made up your mind by then) you can.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

But for that I can understand more, since they have to import them and whatnot. You buy QTPro over the net - there are no extra costs in selling to Australians that I can see. Grrr.

I'll be bring my iBook to tboy's place this weekend, if we watch the Animatrix I downloaded, plus quite a few songvids, I'll be using Quicktime Pro.

[sinden.livejournal.com]

Well, the iPod I want is sitting at about $800, so I guess it's a bit more than QTPro. *g*

I'll be good, but you're only saying that because you don't want the guilt of it hanging over your head! ;)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Well, d'uh!

And yes, step away from the iPod :)

You're no fun!
