I was using a Belkin buss -- there's another name for it, but I can't think of it; it's a gizmo that allows you to connect several peripherals to one USB input on the iMac. I had my printer, scanner, and floppy drive hooked up through it. Finally, when I disconnected it, the problem ceased. Doing without it is a small inconvenience; I rarely use the scanner or floppy drive, and now have my printer hooked up direct. But when I do hook up the scanner through the "buss," the BSoD inevitably appears. Obviously, it's a hardware problem. While I'm on (I rarely post, and am not at all sure I'm doing it right), I'd like to pose an inquiry to the group. Having recently discovered the wonders of iMovie, I'm in the market for a digital video cam. I'll appreciate any advice and/or recommendations on what to buy, in the $500 to $700 range. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, just a good a good serviceable camera. I'm told that Sony and Canon are the best brands, yet on the Web I find users damning their service and support. Much thanks for any response. Nolan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
