Doreen puts it well in her response to your message. My company has seven Macs ranging downward from a G3 333 to a prehistoric SE 30. 9600/350, Power Computing Power Tower and so on. I can assure you that with the volume of work that goes through my shop, having the latest and greatest for our graphics platforms just makes good economic sense. There used to be a concentrated effort – either through Apple or third party add ons, to give the power user a continuous upgrade path. While Apple still rolls out new power hardware, I think you have to agree that the speed of new product offerings is not what it used to be. Not only are software developers shifting emphasis to Wintel, I would ask you a question. How many Mac only publications exist today and, how many titles were there 18 months ago. I'm still a dedicated Mac user, but only to the extent that Apple is willing to give me what I need. My concern is that Jobs has ramped up the “consumer/personal use” sector to the detriment of the power user – and, he risks losing share to the Wintel side as there is a lot of evidence that those machines continue to deliver higher and higher speed to those who want it.
