Well, I'll give you the link that is confusing me: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61850 That link gives a list of computers that can run Final Cut Express, which seems to exclude the clamshell iBook. Then to complicate things, there is this link on the Final Cut Express page that lists the system requirements that are printed on the box: http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress/specs.html Those specs appear to include my clamshell iBook. What do you think? Maybe I'm just paranoid because I've never spent that much on software before and I want to make sure it is going to work before I open it. Thanks again. Dave.
