[MacDV] Re: question about which G4 to buy for digital vido

Gail:
Charles is right about the classes. You might see if your local 
community college has some classes (cheap, convenient, and frequently 
offerred). Most have pretty good courses in Photoshop and video 
editing, some of the latter using either Final Cut or Premiere. Once 
you get a class schedule from enrolling, you can go to one of the many 
academic software sites and get the software at 50% to 75% discount. 
One I use is
http://www.juourneyed.com
but there are plenty of them.
