I hate to show my ignorance (not that it's possible to hide it) but is Pismo a separate brand, or is it an Apple product?

Sounds like it is a good deal -- I would buy a Pismo for $6-800, if it will allow me to do the same as iMovie? (I don't have iMovie yet, but I think I would want it on my next Mac).

There was a string about eBay, though, and I am personally very leery about buying a computer off eBay, escrow or not.

It's a regular Apple Laptop Lorraine.

Pismo is like a Nickname.

I think Apple probably calls it the PowerBook (FireWire).

Yes. That would be a step up from what you have for movie editing.

You could use iMovie and it's Firewire connection.

I'll bet there's a lot of them in the Chicago area.

Thanks! I'll take a look at eBay, but I don't know, I'm really anti-computer purchase on eBay. I don't mind buying it over the Internet from a reliable source, like lowendmac or OWC, if they sell used/refurbished Macs. But, I'll take a look at eBay. You have yet to steer me wrong, Mr. Kelly man.
