I want one, *BAD*.  However, I'm quite happy with my G5 2x2 (it's now 
about 3 months short of three years old).  I'm not doing anything 
that makes my G5 feel slow, unlike my previous system, a G4/450.  I'm 
happy with my software load out, though I do want to get iLife '06 
for the iPhoto improvements (the only place the system has problems).

While I'd like a new Mac Pro, I think my G5 2x2 has at least another 
year or two in it as a primary desktop system.  Realistically it 
might have even longer.  I need more RAM more than I need faster 
CPU's (I'm sitting at 3.5GB RAM).

Besides, before I upgrade, I want native versions of Microsoft 
Office, Adobe Creative Suite Pro, and Eudora.  Who knows if I wait 
long enough my dream of a commercial 68k/PPC Mac emulator to run 
classic apps might even come to pass, but I fear the market doesn't 
exist for such a program.
