Okay enough about Joe

Okay, enough about Joe Lieberman for the moment, how about giving TPM some tech advice? As a number of you know, I bought my first Mac a few months ago. And at the moment I have a PC at home, which I’m writing on now, and a Mac over at TPM HQ — the reverse of the normal bi-OS set up. Now, we’re planning on adding a video component to our offerings at TPM. So I’m looking at different machines that are high-powered enough to deal well with video editing. My limited experience working with video on the Mac Mini I have at work tells me that the Mac really was pretty impressive working with video on the ease of use — ‘it just works’ — front, even working with HD video. But because of Mac’s transition to their new Intel processors, the most high-powered machines they have are the souped-up iMacs. (The G5s Mac is selling still have the old PowerPC processors — so they’re soon to be out of date.) Has anyone out there done video editing on one of those machines? I’m wondering whether it makes sense to get one of those or whether I should get something in the PC world. Advice appreciated.
