I refer my learned colleagues to the highlighted text. I tested my laptop this morning running PT11HD with no Avid hardware attached. It worked fine (thankfully). Is it my understanding that in the future if I want to, say, do a touch of editing on a boring plane ride I will need to dump a clunky interface onto the lap of the person next to me? Any takers?:confused:
