Thanks. My post wasn't all that informative so forgive me. It's like 100 degrees here in the shade and i hardly had the energy to type anything.

Is software better than hardware these days? I looked on eBay and the K2000 looks to be relatively cheap. I might be able to afford it if its sub $600. But if software is better, then maybe I should go that route? That leads me to question whether my computer is good enough (iBook G4)...
