Wait...you mean I can stay?



Want to transfer all the video tape we have of our boys over to DVD and after discussing it at length with my brother who is very accomplished at doing just that...I was convinced the Mac was the better tool for the job.

I think you'll find that for A LOT of computer tasks, the Mac is the better tool (Plus, you can install Windows on the drive to run any PC programs you may still need )
