Also,
for editing.. you think Sony Vegas? Might need a little bit of new hardware for the editing. But I am ready to get knee deep into this, I am a fast learner and I have fairly decent taste for an amateur eye.
Again,
thanks for all the helpful info Dean & Mafia. It is VERY much appreciated.
I'm almost there,
but I might end up asking one more simple question or two

But I am already feeling a whole lot better about the situation, you guys rock!
I should be able to figure out the editing by myself sooner or later, but what is of true importance is getting the right machinery first and I can't thank you guys enough for the help.
