TB,

Thank you very much for the quick response! It confirmed that my system should meet my basic needs. I have some follow-up questions, if you don't mind.

1. Do I need to add a video capture device? If so, any recommendations?

2. Can I take advantage of the firewire port? If so, how is this accomplished?

3. Will my system allow me to capture VHS video without losing quality?

My uneducated impression is that Adobe products are 'state of the art' for my areas of interest. Therefore, I'm thinking that it may be wise to purchase 'entry level' Adobe product(s), then upgrade, as my needs and skill-level develop.

4. Is this sound reasoning? If so, what product(s) might you recommend, for starters. (If I'm off-base, please set me straight.)

May your tactile transducers always be true!
Jess
