From the photography standpoint, there's a lot of great applications out there. Photoshop Elements does over 90% of the heavy lifting of Photoshop, at about one-third of the price. Included in Elements is Adobe Bridge, which will work nicely in organizing his photos. There's also Apple's Aperture ($299), which is high-end and very capable, especially in organizing photo libraries. And, of course, there's good old iPhoto, which may be all he needs. For video, iMovie. For some added punch, Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro. You can't get a better platform than the Mac for photo and video. Dump the Windoze stuff, and get with the program! :-) Pete
