    It looks VERY sweet . . . .even the specs (which isn't usually the case) but I fear it's too little too late for apple. they've been behind on technology for so long now that the only mac users are the longtime mac users who believe in apple like my sister believes in catholicism: blindy and with no basis of fact. with blazing fast hardware, a much more stable OS in windows XP and popular ports of almost all the stable mac content creation software multimedia labs no longer have to start and end with apple . . . . and that was always their strangle grip on the computing industry . . . .so it'll be interesting to see where they go from here.
