Don, Your comment: "I was told MAC was the best for digital video, but I'm not so sure" may be an understandable statement if your first out of the box experience is not what you expected, but really read what I have said concerning my kids.
They don't know the first thing about a computer. Really. I have to maintain it for them, I just gave them a firewire drive to backup all their work, they are not experienced at anything other than "using" a machine, yet they are so proficient that they are in charge of doing these productions for their son's football team, senior night at their school for those that are graduating (with many in the audience), several weddings, etc. etc. I assure you that if they were trying to put together several programs in the Windows world that could match what iLife4 can do they would give it up. Just this week I went to the McAfee Virex site for info. on the new virus and inside the site they had a page that explained there were CURRENTLY 81,000 known exposures out there, in addition to the many hoaxes. Just how many of the 81,000 affect the MAC? A few years ago when I checked into the Symantic antivirus list of dangers there were less than 40, for all time. if nothing else, just this one item, would keep me from going to the Windows world. At my work we use Windows, what a mess. We are down every single week, we have more problems that you can fathom and the company employees ten of thousands of programmers and they just can't keep it going and we do get most every virus. Sorry for the sermon, but in the deepest of analysis, there is really only one choice for those of us who don't have the time or expertise to learn and spend hour upon hour trying to just maintain the system.
