Hello-

I've been a Windows guy for the past 10 years and want to step into the world of Macs. I want to start by downloading many hours of video from tapes from my video camera and play around with some highly regarded Mac video editing software. I've been an IT guy for a while, just not on the Mac side of things, so I'm not a computer newbie, just a Mac newbie.

That said, I don't need a new computer with all the bells, whistles, and upgraded software, just something that for the time being I can use for video editing and getting used to using and configuring a Mac. I'm guessing something a few years old will do what I need and I'd appreciate some recommendations on what system to get (hardware, os, video editing software, etc.)

Thanks in advance!

Adam
