Actually Glenn I have a real dislike for Macs and here is why, I
refuse to use any machine whose presupposition is that I don't know
anything about what it is I am trying to do.  This prevents me from
doing some of the wonderful things a Mac is capable of but it doesn't
bother me too much.  As to the implication that I would not be willing
to spend the money to get the performance, I'd like to point out that
if you'd read any of my previous postings you'd know that I firmly
believe that you get what you pay for.  My current camcorder is a
S-VHS-C and next time around I will buy the same format with HiFi
also.  My VCR is a VHS and has MTS which came out in the mid '80s (MTS
was only 12 months old when I bought it, only linear stereo but at the
time that was all that was available).  My next VCR will be the new
JVC S-VHS(-C) machine that will accept S-VHS, VHS, S-VHS-C and VHS-C,
it will cost me a pretty penny but it too will be worth it.

GIVE ME the option and let me decide how much I want to spend for what
features.  :-P yourself...
