I realize this. Parallels is a viable option and will beceom more so. No one mentioned it so I felt someone should. Architectures move on. Yes it is a pain and represents a rapid depreciation of hardware. Just so you know I have a Dual G5 1.8 Ghz that is 1/3 slower in linpack and PyStones than my Macbook Pro! So don't think I don't feel the pain. But I upgraded teh graphics card and it works fine for Final Cut Studio, Photoshiop, and APerture so I'll keep it for a few years longer.

But one thing is certain--PPC numbers are not going to grow much more at this point and therefore, if vendors aren't supporting PPC today, they'll have less and less reason to do so going forward. It is an unfortunate reailty we all must face. Apple has made it clear that the PPC line is a dead end. But personally, I chose to still buy a Mac and run Linux and WIndows virtually rather than by a Win-tel system. Everyone has to make their own choice and live with it--just like politics and religion. Best of luck what ever you decide. This forum is better informed for my posting and I stand by it. Good luck.
