to mac or not to mac

I've been debating the Mac lately.  I really want to get my hands on Final Cut Pro and Apple's Motion product.  I suppose it doesn't make sense to buy a pc just for 2 apps you'll just play with a bit and then move on to the next thing.  But still I can't help but wonder.. yes.. a mac.. then you price it out and realize, what the hell am i thinking?!?!  I need to spend that kinda cash on something else first...

Anyways so I'm looking at video production apps lately... i got the itch to produce this month.  Avid just released a new version of its Avid Free DV reccently, if you want a free digital video app, thats a nice way to get started. 

I've ordered the latest update on Serious Magic's Visual Communicator 2... that should be here soon.  And hopefully after that and a much needed light kit, we'll be good to go on more Talkin Crap episodes. 

I kinda wanna play with Poser as well.  In fact I should just get that its been nippin at me for awhile now.  Its a good app to pair up with Xfrog.

Then theres the FlowPod I've been pondering about.  Its like a poormans steadycam.  I'd just like for once to have some video that was nice and steady and smoooooooooth to play with.  We'll see.  We will see.
