OK..
So my buddy is setting me up with a computer from 2003.
NOTE: This guy is an engineer, and a producer of the film.. so I respect his opinion a lot.. but I alseo respect you guys as well..

Wha? For Video editing?

Well.. its an old server from his work with what he describes as a WAY faster motherboard and a (is this right?) RAID HD. He says its 10K Rpms. It has XP pro (vista is, evidently, bad) and 150gb on that fast HD.. plus a USB 2.0 for me to plug a 500gb storage drive. He says it can take up to 12gb of ram and has like a ton of expansion bays (we're throwing in a cool Graphics and Sound card)

Well, now the major ISP's are talking about sifting through Internet packets looking for copyrighted material. The problem is, I host a boatload of fully legal MP3s for which I, or the contributors, hold the copyright. I'd hate to get a Cease and Desist because the name of one of my songs that I wrote nineteen years ago happens to be identical to one released by some teenie-bop group last year.
