Here I have begun to list the hardware and software that I use to produce the things that I do. The reason I am listing this info is to give you an idea of where you might want to start. Also, people ask me all during my computer class what I have and that can be distracting. This can get scary!
Hardware
Pentium III 500
262 Megs of SDRAM
Voodoo 3500 Video card. Allows for TV and other video input via a special pod.
SoundBlaster Live: This is an excellent sound card that allows me to play and record high quality music
Plustek Scanner: This is a nice portable desktop scanner that has its own cache and the ability to do negatives and transparencies.
Software
