Thank you very much guys, it's looking a LOT more promising than I thought!
Just watched a video of ShowGirls and it looks much better than anything I have on Windows for basic editing!!
Just answered my own number 9, I cannot believe I forgot Aminet existed!
It used to be my forst port of call from 1993 until 2000!
there's an NZB reader/downloader called PullDog for MorphOS

Kronos, thanks for the advice, maybe a Mac Mini will be the way to go then?
is there anything to look out for with these or will any of the G4 ones work?
I will have around £80-100 to spend with the MorphOS licence on top of that (I will be using KVM so no need for monitor etc)
