    I need to buy a new Mac....

    Definitely nice 1st world problems to have :). My main editing system is the Alienware R11 Aurora PC with 64 gigs of ram and a GeForce RTX 3080 Graphics Card. So far it's gone strong for about 5 years now knock on wood. My secondary is my M2 Macbook Pro with 16 gigs of ram.

    Thanks for this! Crossing fingers for you too! I'm an older applicant as well (maybe the oldest - just turned a young looking 50). I timed applying for when my youngest graduates high school. I hear you on the wait. Hopefully we both make it in!
