I'm new to Mac (2 weeks) and I bought my Mac for the follwing reasons ...
1. It's reputation for reliability and stability
2. It's reputation for superior handling of media files.
3. Safer environment in regards to virus infestation.
4. Ease of use (plug and play)
5. Freedom from Microsoft
However, I've found that although I like my MacBook and feel that I did my homework before I bought. There is one thing that slipped by me and that is the fact that I wouldn't be able to download my family videos from my Sony DCR DVD405 camcorder (no firewire). This is a huge disappointment and now I'm faced with investing in Windows plus parallels or Bootcamp.
Can someone confirm for me that there is no way to work with my videos unless I have a firewire?
