    Get one of the clam-shell iBooks. They don't come any better than that.

      You can't get those hideous things any more, thank god. They looked like a toilet seat.

      Don't get an ibook if you want to make movies. Get an imac, emac, or powermac unless you want a portable, in which case a powerbook.

      The flat panel imacs are really good for home movie making and digital photography and all that stuff. That's probably the best bet.

      Or you could wait a few weeks and get one of the new PPC 970 Power Macs when they are released. If you are made of money that is.

        Your best bet is a PC. Any PC.

        Case closed.

          Not for making home movies.

              You need to take a logic class.

              Compare:

              Hitler says..

              1) Nazism is the best political system.

              Agathon says..

              2) Not for protecting Jews.


              According to your logic it follows that Nazism is better for everything else.



              Well his sister can use Gates ass-rapin' multimedia software or use the integrated iapps. The latter are much easier. Or, if she's more ambitious, she could use a version of Final Cut, or she could use whatever inferior software is available for XP.

                I can tell you from experience - the imac is good for making films. For my advanced french class we had to make a movie, and I used my imac to edit the whole damn thing, and imovie made it really painless. I added in songs, voiceovers, and arranged the scenes to how I wished them to be. Be sure to get a computer with a large hard drive, though, cause if she wants to make really long movies, those can take up ALOT of space.

                  I'm astonished that, as a card-carrying gay man, Asher would stoop to being seen using such an ugly and tasteless system as XP. I'm going to write to the official gay people and ask them to revoke his membership.

                  I mean it's like being caught wearing beige corduroys or driving an Aztek.

                    I can theme XP easily, I can't theme OS X easily.

                    Frankly I find OS X gaudy and tacky, much like the default XP theme. Alphablending abuse should be a crime. Yes, it's nifty, but does Apple need to apply it to everything like it's a brand new toy?

                    BTW, what does iMovie do that Windows Movie Maker doesn't?

                      RIGHT! I've had enough of this bollox. You are now officially declared straight. I'll send the Ted Nugent T-Shirt in the mail.

                              XP default theme is ugly, so I switched it to the normal Windows look. Much nicer.

                              XP is the best, most stable OS ever.
