[MacDV] Re: What Computer

[Matthew Guemple]

It's been said 1000 times and is worth repeating. Buy the best machine  
you can afford. It might sting a bit now, but inevitably if you cheap  
out you will (probably and quickly) get to the point where what you  
want to do will be limited by the machine. Or by that machines ability  
to run the new software that just came out that you want to use... etc.

The advantage of the tower is that you will (almost) always be able to  
find some way to work around. iMac and eMac will always be limiting at  
some point.

I spent years working with FrankenMacs and underpowered systems. The  
time suck and frustration alone would have been worth the expense (in  
retrospect) I just didn't have the cash. It's a trade off I would not  
recommend.

Or you could go PC? Yikes... but cheap.
