No offense taken. I have Macs and PCs and drive a Golf. I'm not saying Apple is without sin, but when I hear that every time you add hardware to your PC you've got to get a new serial number to run Windows XP, I cringe. That's pretty damn evil. I like this debate, but it's a lot like religion. CarlJacobson@cakewalk.com wrote: > Hey I drive a Saturn and use a PC? What does that mean? > > Mark I meant no disrespect by my last message.

I've got an Aurora Fuse video capture card. Was the best I could afford at the time. Aurora has stated that they will NEVER write an OSX driver for it. They will give me their Igniter card... if I give up another $500. Frankly, at that point, I'd sooner get a DV camera and to DV, since I'm using Final Cut Pro anyway, and have the Igniter RT card at work. So.... When I need to capture analog video, or record in DP3, I reboot into OS 9. It's a pretty good OS, all in all. Sure, OSX is better, but it's still very new. I'm impressed at how little I've got to launch the "Classic environment" these days. If you really need a Mac box, I'd look for a used high end G3 or low end G4 and just stick to OS 9.2 Mark
