Animation Industry 		Lightning Speed, Indeed
844/Xe now in version 2.0, shows quickness, refinement, sophistication
by Charlie White
Let's hitch a ride on a new kind of editing system that's as at home with compositing as it is with pure cutting. It's a thoroughbred that's not quite broken in yet, but even at its tender age of 16 months, can already run like the wind. There are good reasons why Media 100's 844/X was code-named Pegasus during its incubation period. It's a kickin' colt that can fly, while learning some sophisticated manners in its newest iteration, version 2.0. Here's our review.

Hooking up to your computer via USB 2.0, the unit works well enough, as long as you follow the instructions on how to set it up and download its proprietary drivers.

Defrag It: PerfectDisk 6.0
by John B. Virata
Fragmented hard drives suck. They slow down your system, wreak havoc on your system's resources, cause unnecessary wear to your hard drive heads, and help to promote dropped frames when capturing video. While Microsoft's operating systems ship with a built-in disk defragmenting application, it is basic in scope and limited in functionality. Raxco Software has created a disk defragmenter that provides more functionality in a tool that not only let's you defrag your hard drives locally, but across a network to multiple drives at regularly scheduled intervals.
