Hi,

Season's greetings from faraway India!

My sis is in the US and I asked her to buy me a Sony handycam and an ibook.

She bought the a Sony HC DCR 20 last week
She'll buy the 12" ibook with 768MB RAM, 60 GB, Bluetooth later this week

Gotta a few stupid questions:
-- Do you think SONY DCR 20 is a good choice. Its my first handy, not into heavy stuff, but would appreciate your feedback.

-- the ibook would work fine with the bloated RAM, right? I'm going to use it for normal stuff, creating docs, pdfs, internet etc.

-- Lastly, I think I need to buy a firewire cable to connect the handy to the ibook. Do I need a 4 pin to 6 pin cable?

What dyu suggest, should I buy it from sony? or apple??

Sorry, I'm asking these Q's coz im far far away, this is my first mac, and my sis is a technophobe.

Thanking all of you in advance.
