David S. Sonny PCV 220 is a good one to pick. I got one at home. ( a new year gift for myself and give my old PC to my kid : )) It comes with a 266 P II. Really kool AGP Multimedia system with video capture and TV tunner. a Zip drive Of course .(any simple practical video clips will need a zip drive for mobile storage) You can edit/play your video tape or video conference etc. I loved it. The price is around $1899. I have seen Compaq with similar configuration with even a DVD and price would be close to $2K. -Henry

David - Re: "You, anyone can suggest good configuration/vendor?" If you can, wait for about one or two months - after Intel delivers the 100 MHz 440 BX and 350/400 MHz Pentium IIs and i740 AGP Graphics adapter. You should benefit by the faster performance - since graphics seems to be your area of concentration. As for MacDrawPro - you have two issues to deal with. The first is straightforward - MAC-To-DOS (Windows) translation. I use Mac-in-DOS and it works great. The more difficult problem is finding a Windows/DOS program that can read the MacDRAW Pro graphics file. Can you export the file to a vector file format such as .DXF (AutoCAD) or .CDR ( CorelDraw) or Micrografx or .WMF (Windows MetaFile) that can be read by many Windows programs? CANVAS is supported on both MAC and Windows machines - you might want to look into using CANVAS as a vehicle for your translations. Paul
