I've pre-ordered it and a new QUAD G5 to run it on. My old dual 800 G4 was starting to really drag to a crawl. I am not looking at it as replacement for PS CS2 that is my main image editor but rather as a workflow hub. I am a long time CaptureOne/iView MediaPro/PS. Iview is brutally slow and I'm impressed with Adobe Bridge so this is the gap I'm filling. If Aperture supports tethered capture than it may replace captureone for that as well. It's not clear that is has that feature yet though. Maybe Andy will give us his impression as Apple is showing it in NYC this week. I'd be there as well but I fractured my spine in three places in a mountain biking accident a week ago so travel is out of the question. Lawrence ----------------------------- Lawrence W.
