[P1] Final Cut Express on Clamshell iBook

[Dan Farley]

I think I'd try it!

Your machine is as capable as a 350 MHZ iMac in almost every regard.  Unless
the screen resolution is an issue it should work. Find a "Final Cut
Pro?Express to ask this question for a definitive answer.

Final Cut

> My 466MHz G3 FireWire iBook meets these requirements, so I bought the
