    Pepp, What kind of movie editing will you be doing on the laptop? What movie editing software will you use? Or is it more just burning movies to DVD's that you have recorded with your HD camcorder with no editing involved? Are you actually splicing and cutting scenes and stitching, adding...

    Hello all from the great state of Alabama! I'm below Birmingham a little ways. I have had my truck for 8 years now. I have not had any major repairs that have come out of my pocket. Like my signature says - I had the injectors replaced in February 2009 on GM's dime. So far, this is the...
