I don't *need* to be able to edit video on my recreational rig, necessarily, but being able to *produce* some kind of video would be nice (even if it's just, like, a slideshow, or a theatrix studio cartoon, or a Windows 3D movie maker film) that would be nice.
I am occasionally struck by the whim to do desktop publishing, or image editing. Again, I don't *need* to be able to do these things on my recreational rig, but it would be nice to be able to do it occasionally.
I think the more important thing here is to highlight what I don't want.
