GeeThree plug-ins will not work in the new 08 iMovie, which is a huge oversight on the part of Apple. I wonder if Apple did this to cripple GeeThree and force people to use Final Cut Pro Express? I understand from the GeeThree people that 08 iMovie leaves HD6 on your hard drive and does not over write it, which is a good thing. Apple took a good thing in my opinion and weakened it by trying to make iMovie more accessible to the general public. Hard core users like myself were left out of this update. Gee Three Transitions is a very sophisticated yet very easy to use bundle of software.

I will have to see one in person to decide. Could be a dealbreaker, but since I can't even afford a mac pro on credit and parallels keeps grinding my 2G maxed RAM imac to a halt, I will probably be using one in the not so distant future.

Probably not up to MS Office levels yet (I've downloaded the shareware demo to test it out and see), but having another alternative to Excel for number-crunching is definitely a Good Thing.

I am still happy about switching almost every day. Especially the days that I run windows xp and IE6 in Parallels to test websites. I would recommend an imac for a desktop or a macbook for a laptop. A mini would work for little movies too. If you already have a monitor and mouse and keyboard, that would be the least expensive option. If you need to buy those things too, the price can get pretty close to an imac. If that happens or if the difference in price is not a concern, go for the imac. If you get a used one, I would go for an intel core 2 duo model of some sort. Regular Core Duo is good too. Get at least 1G of RAM no matter which mac you get him. That is great that he likes computers so much. Let me know when he starts putting the movies on the web :) How do you like your macbook? I am still happy about switching almost every day.

He's interested in making little movies and such. Any and all suggestions would be helpful. I've been following all your Mac posts with great interest since switching and thanks much for the tip you posted (ctr/opt/apl_8) several month ago. Don't know what I'd do without that! Lori:
