    They will have to continue to offer some kind of offline option it seems, for people with flaky internet connections.

      Never mind flaky internet, what about people that do events?

      Things like PowerPoint presentation machines, VJ systems, video servers (for massive multiscreen playback).
      You can’t go into a field for a festival and expect reliable internet.
      You can’t go into a theatre and expect reliable internet, especially when 3k+ people turn up.
      There are a few systems that run OSX, but Apple’s hardware doesn’t give you as much control as something like an Nvidia Quadro with sync cards. 99% of the big shows will be ran from Windows OS

        Apple can barely figure out how to get a picture out of their own hardware. Monitor support is surprisingly an afterthought in a graphical operating system often used by artists. I shouldn’t need to download scripts from GitHub to change my RGB monitor to run in RGB mode. With such an expensive computer, I should be able to connect multiple monitors at the same time like I can on much cheaper computers.
