Thank You!  Those four lines drive it home a lot better than Apple's 
website.  The downside being, now I want it :^)

Though I wonder how well it will handle an image library the size of 
mine.  I'm up to about 11GB of images (~8000), and iPhoto is having 
serious issues with handling the load.  Basically on a G5 2x2 with 
1.5GB RAM, it's now the only thing that can be running when I use it.
