[G4] G5 and photoshop

[sr ferenczy]

1st generation of anything will have bugs, granted. but the initial 
arguments regarding speed and "64-bit-ness" do not hold any water. from 
reading the white papers, and  reading about panther, the old G4 
machines will not even be comparable to the G5.

oh, and 1st gen bugs are NOT the same thing as shipping beta machines.
