Quad G5 sounds so cool...just to say you have it. Nonetheless, an Intel Mac Pro will be on my radar in the next few months. No immediate plans as they are pricey but just gorgeous. Thanks for the replies and I like where the discussion is going, keep it up. I've been out of the loop so long on newer macs I don't know what I ought to be considering when purchasing my next great machine. I can use all the help I can get!
