[MacDV] Re: Equipment recommendations

[Gary Fujihara]

Aloha Shirley,

   I will be doing everything myself (with some initial help from a friend
of mine who does some sideline video productions).  I have a graphic arts
and music background and have been working with Macs since the 128k...

   I approach this endeavor the same as any other in my life...jump in with
both feet and go for it...

> Do you need to provide for training?

   What do you have in mind?

Best Regards
Gary Fujihara
