Maybe. But it won't obsolete as quickly.  :)  One of the only reasons 
I upgraded my old SE (1987-1993) was because the following year 
MacInTax was going to be color only - horrors! Then the PM6500 in 98 
as it was a good close-out deal (which still runs my vinyl cutter), 
then the Yikes! in 2001, another good deal from a vendor of mine, 
that one is now running OS9 and will be later running bookkeeping and 
other stuff for my business. The MDD is for everything else.

Yes they do! So I'm still poking around, this isn't an urgent need for me.

Do any of the USB ones use USB2? I didn't see any that specified that 
so I'm guessing they don't.

I also found references to ATI PCI units that were Mac compatible, so 
I'll have to see if I actually have one here. Though I suppose I'd 
still need the software from ATI to do the capture, I'm sure iMovie 
won't even see it. More research......

LOL. Like it or not I always feel poor.
