After basically just being a curiosity for almost a decade, desktop video publishing has moved from the realm of the possible - to that of the everyday, commonplace occurence.

I remember Steve Jobs saying back in the 1990s that desktop video editing/production would become just as popular as desktop publishing was in the 1980s.

Desktop publishing really did take off, and Apple was the first consumer computer company that positioned itself to be a player in it.

They had the first affordable laser printer, the first affordable windows/icon/mice/menus desktop user interface, and the first WYSIWYG word processor.

Put them together, you get desktop publishing.

Today, all iMacs include the IEEE.1394 (FireWire) digital media interface, an iSight camera built right into the bezel above the display, video editing and DVD-burning software, and high speed 802.11g wireless broadband-speed networking.

Put those together, and you get a lot of digital video - really quickly.
