    Hardwarewise, I would get a powerbook with superdrive and load it with iLife like MagicFingers suggested. If you want to get crazy, you could spend a chunk O' change on toys like the ones Edirol makes to import midi and audio into expensive ware like Cubase, etc, etc, etc.

    I reccomned the Powerbook because of it's portability. You can take it to the gig and record live off the PA or miks and burn a copy to play with at your leasure.

    Also, read-read-read all of the reviews and specs of the toys you want BEFORE you buy them, so you know what you're getting into. Go to a musicians superstore if there is one in you neck of the woods and demo some stuff.
