Well, I see your point about "re-investing every six months" but in the 
video world one probably DOES have to re-invest more than every five 
years!

If the B&W is meeting your needs, then of course you don't need to 
upgrade. But when I look at the G5 I practically *drool* imagining the 
possibilities ... ultra-fast conversion or compression ... dramatically 
swifter iDVD and DVD Studio Pro mastering ... expanded abilities of 
Final Cut Pro ...

Not to mention some of the more long-term benefits of a 64-bit 
processor such as voice control/dictation that actually WORKS, 
videoconferencing as a routine event between virtually everyone ... and 
wonders I can't even imagine now!
