[X4U] PowerMac recommendations

[n]

OK..well that is a pretty useful tidbit...I must confess that I did not 
know that about Aperture.

I wonder if Matt is near an Apple store? Around the time I was deciding 
to get Final Cut Pro, I was in my local Apple Store, where they had 
scads of Macs loaded up with a nice variety of Apple software titles, 
including FCP. Now, Aperture was not a shipping product back then, but 
it is now, and I would think that it'd be part of the software 
complement featured on floor models of computers at Apple Stores these 
days..

So, maybe the best thing for him to do would be to skate in and try his 
important apps on actual shipping Macs in the Apple Store. IIRC, they 
even allow customers to install software they use but which isn't on 
the in-store computers; those computers are set to re-set themselves in 
the wee wee hours, so that anything installed on them or created on 
them is wiped; the computer reverts to the install it was set up with. 
He might want to phone first, though..just to make sure it's cool.
