Of course you're right. I'd want to wait anyway as I still need OS9 
for some time. (Damn!!!)

I'm sure Apple realised their error. These G5's claim to be 2-3 times 
quieter than the G4's. Mine sits in an IsoBox anyway - even with the 
fan upgrade, it's still a noisy pig.

But to get back to the G5's.....
I have no doubt that Emagic will be the first music app to take full 
advantage so we'll certainly benefit in that respect.
I heard Gerhard Lengeling was featured in the keynote address - it's 
still not up on the Apple site yet.
