So the new Macs have Intel processors now......and?? You're still running OS X....isn't that what's important? And the hardware is still (for the most part) the same quality that Apple has always been known for. The only difference is that now you have the ability to run Windows if need be natively as opposed to having it in a slow emulated environment. That doesn't mean that you have to run Windows if you don't want to..just stick with OS X. I love the PPC just like you do but if the Intel chips can smoke the PPC chips on the Mac I say give me Intel or give me death!  A well designed CPU is better no matter who makes it.

Incidentally, and I know this thread is a few weeks old, but benchmarks on the web have shown the 3 GHz Mac Pro to hold its own with **emulated apps**, specifically Photoshop. Yes, the 3 GHz Mac Pro is roughly the same speed as a quad-G5 when running Photoshop. (And much faster on native apps, of course.) G5's are dead. Doug

And CS3 is nearer every week.  ... I'm really looking forward to the time when I can work with native apps completely again.

adobe are going to be very, very rich when CS3 arrives. they won';t have much trouble cinvincing people to upgrade, after all... with all the software companies that Adobe has bought within the last 2 years, it'll also be interesting to see just how much CS3 will evolve...
