Yes, fussy is one way of describing quicktime I haven't had much luck getting anything to work with it, but one of the stations I shoot for can't open my .avi files but has no problem with .dv so I have to rename everything for them when I'll sending them stuff.

I'm not too worried, I plan on replacing my old laptop hopefully come this september and then I'll have to make all those tough decisions, GO PC and stay XP-pro, Vista?, or go MAC and have two operating systems available to me.......to be honest I really don't know what to do at this point so I'm just sitting on the fence this summer.

I cover a lot of severe weather for the news so I use Grlevelx.com software for radar/mapping and gps stuff but then in news we also monitor the emergency services on scanners and use the BC780, 785, 396, 996 and all the Butel.nl software would have to work with Vista.........

I don't event want to think about it at this point
