[MacDV] Re: What Computer

[BURTON Chris]

Shirley,

I think the best way to go is to buy a used eMac, just as I did. That way you get a like new system that has already had the video
problem fixed. I paid $799 for mine (G4 700 version with Combo) and bought one of those $149 Cendyne 4x DVD-RW's .... I haven't had
a single problem with the system .. it's been so rock solid that I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a low cost DV system. Of
course the disk is getting close to full with all of my projects on it so I need to add a 120 GB external but hey that's the way it
goes.

Cheers!

Chris
