>>> What do you use yours [Illuminator-16] for? <<< Much the same. I'm also running the oh-so-promising nonetheless disappointing Personal Producer software. I bought it thinking, "well, if this don't work, for $3K Canadian, I can always upgrade." Later next year, I'll probably take that option. I agree with you on PP being good value for the nickel; I'm just going to have to spend a couple more of 'em to get what I want. In the meantime, I'm concentrating on learning the medium. I've always wanted to cut tape, or film, and now I'm figuring out the realities. And, as you noted, PP enables education quite effectively. ;-| I'm acquiring images through Hi-8, SVHS and slide film (transferred to Photo-CD), and edit on SVHS. I do some image capture using the illuminator, but its primary purpose is to drive Personal Producer. Do you use Tempra for image capture? Or have you found a better program than the nasty DOS beast? Do you use Inscriber CG for titling? Patrick.
