Avid Free DV

I downloaded Avid Free DV tonight. I don't know why more people don't take advantage of the free versions that professional software companies produce. It seems like the masses are content with Windows Movie Maker. Personally, I'd rather have the limitations of a professional application that is offered for free. The learning curve will be greater, but the capabilities are so much more immense. Hopefully I can figure it out fairly easily. It will be cool to be able to make DVD's of Noah and Ana for the family, plus creatively edit stuff just for my personal enjoyment. JM

Windows Vista, I Hardly Knew Ye

So their removing Vista off of my computer. It's probably better that way. I'll be going back to Windows XP Pro. I'm much more familiar with it, so it's for the best. Plus, this way I can just wait on Vista to come out with service pack II to fix all the bugs. Being first in line is great, unless it's software. Also, I have no idea if it's pronounced "Vista" or "Veesta". JM
