OT: notebook shopping

[Wayne Davis]

There is NO better PC based video editor than Final Cut, and it is mac 
exclusive. (I) do not like Mac, but when something is superior, you have 
to acknowledge it. If Video editing is a good part of what you plan to 
do, Then the MAC would be the choice. I just hate paying more $$$ for 
hardware and software just because it is a "Mac"
>>  But I've always 
>> admired the Mac's design, the fact that OS X is based on Unix, and the 
>> Mac's excellent video-editing software. (I've been unhappy with the 
>> hassle of setting up this kind of stuff on Linux.)
