To be honest if you are scraping that much for money then put the PMGSP project in a box in the garage until after christmas. If you already have an desktop Mac (either a PowerMac or an iMac) either at work or at him or both them an iBook will integrate really well with it. There's nothing nicer than being able to throw your work on a swish looking laptop and shoot off to another office/house and plug it into another persons TV or monitor and show it to them, not that I can actually do that with my battered old iBook 300 but you see what I mean. Also if you suddenly feel like renting a DVD then you have an instant TV capable DVD player. -- Mark Benson AIM - SilValleyPirate Visit FlatPackMacs online: <http://fpm.gotdns.com> Visit my Homepage: <http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson> "Never send a human to do a machine's job." -The Matrix -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
