--Regarding all this add on stuff.  Be patient, check out the Mac zi
(this fall) 33/68030 with built in 24bit color card built in cd-rom
(option) and three expansion slots for probably under 3k (who really knows).
Then get any one of many sound boards based on the 56001 dsp chip.  Or
maybe you can wait for the dsp96002 to become affordable or maybe the
AT&T chip, on and on....  Then you can struggle with getting the right
A/D, D/A converter plus whatever filters you might need and then you'll
realize that even with all that stuff your editing features will be
limited because there IS NO INDUSTRY STANDARD time code sync that doesn't
deviate exponentually every time you edit.  Enough said, I'm getting too
excited.  On a lighter note, Quicktime as I've seen it is extremely
over rated.  I don't think it was originally intended for full frame video
from the get go.  Right now its great for replacing the logo at the top of
documents and things but has a long way to go, especially with CISC
processors comming up.  After all, opening e-mail and having the image of
a person talk to you as well as the written word is impressive in itself
(at least to executives) isn't it?  Don't be fooled by programs that
tease you with features and/or standards that are not fully developed,
excepted, or implamented.  Enough said.  Whats the hurry.  I'm gonna wait.
