System Details: P4 1.5G
80 M Data/OS 7200rpm drive
120M 7200 rpm Video storage drive
80M 7200 rpm Acom external
Canopus DV Raptor
Vegas 4.0
Adobe Premier 6.0
DVD Architect
1Gig memory
Wacom Intuous tablet

Holy cow! Was THAT a long time ago! Let's put it this way, that system above was State of the Art when I wrote that! Ok, now on to the current box;

Quad core Running at 3GHz
4 gig memory (can't see it all because I won't run Vista)
Ultra 8800 Nvidia graphics Card
3TB storage
Still have that Intuous tablet, no ned to change.

Got rid of Canopus and run between Vegas 7.0 and occasionally I will dabble with Premier Pro.

Use Maya and Animation Master as well as Poser for certain projects.

Need to upgrade all the time.

Shooting with Panasonic HVX-200 - Love it but wish that memory cards would come down a bit.

Hobbies and Interests: In the spare time that I don't have, I manage a mechanical fuel injection and racing related forum at http://hre.com.

Still flogging all the standards. PS, Dreamweaver (awful at it), After Effects and Encore. The more I learn, the less I know.

Comments and Things Worth Noting:
I owe most of my success to the fact that I learned a long time ago that if you don't pursue it, it won't come to you. It's also very helpful to have a supportive family and a son who is much better with computers that you "think" YOU are.
