Nothing is more frustrating and counterproductive, be it building a
book case or editing a movie, than learning a new craft with

like building a house with tools you got from the 99 Cent store.
A decent G4 with enough ram to run OS X and a fast enough processor
so that he's not waiting forever is a good thing.
It would be cheaper and far easier for the novice to use iMovie;
iLife 4 packages are really cheap, and even iLife 5 isn't expensive.
