I think your first issue is in fact what another poster brought up, that the drivers in each OS do not recognize all cameras. An upgrade card for your Wallstreet couldn't hurt, and nor would mem upgrades. FCP or FCE, in fact, even iMovie love to have high headroom in the ram department. An iceBook or a Pismo is not a bad way to go, and in some ways better than a TiBook for general use as the early (and thus now low cost) TiBooks have crappy airport reception, flimsy cases and icky hinges. Pismos are sturdy, cool and now cheap to repair as parts have fallen in prices. A G4 upgrade exists as well. And it will float up to a gig in ram. An iBook is also cool. Excellent form factor, nice screen, sturdy, although some folk are experiencing screen connection problems due to weak wire in the hinges. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
