I've been a PC user since the 8086 came out. However, I know nothing about
Macs. I was looking for a NG on Macs that might be able to help me.
My son has become interested in making videos, inserting graphics and
music,
etc. This has sprung from a digital vid camera that arrived last
Christmas.
I'm looking for something relatively compact, rugged, and inexpensive to
put
in his room. Basic e-mail/web and video editing/graphics capability. Of
course, must have USB and a network connection (wireless preferred). He
doesn't have a lot of space on his desk.
I was thinking about an iMac G3. They seem to be fill the bill.
I have 3 questions.
1. Is the iMac a decent system for the intended purpose?
2. How freaked out am I going to be dealing with a Mac after all these
years as far as loading patches, antivirus, etc.?
3. Does the iMac OS come with some basic graphics/video editing software?
