Actually you can buy new iBooks from MCE with superdrives installed for about $200 extra. Usually includes upgraded hard drive and ram as well. Not a bad deal. Matt The iBooks do not have the Superdrive option either so that was another draw to the PB. -- G-Books is sponsored by

I can vouch for the Capsure, but it will only import analog video. It doesn't digitize it. Your best bet is to use something like the ADS Pyro Pro (which will digitize your analog video and import and export in multiple ways) and you could import via firewire PC card (which I think would be
