I got a Toshiba laptop for $650 (Fry's Memorial day sale) which edits video 
just fine, capturing OK to both the internal 40G drive and external 80G 
laptop drive in a little pocket sized enclosure.

Didn't print to tape from the laptop drive, but prints to tape from 
standard 3 1/2" external USB drives.

This is with Vegas3 on windows XP.


(anyone know of comparable editing programs on Linux?)

Thanks
JK
