      I couldn't agree more...as one who just got an Intel based iMac 
a couple of weeks ago to replace my 8 year old G4 Power PC, I've had 
virtually no problems with software so far...both Photoshop CS3 and 
Lightroom installed and run as if they were designed for the 
iMac...my Canon Pro9000 printer as well...I may have some problems 
down the road with some older applications but then it's probably 
time to upgrade those anyway...
