I'm inclined to agree. What irritates me is the article I was reading the other day about the more MacBook Pro users who had gone nearly a year without a refresh (it was just over 300 days), yet us Mac Pro users have gone over 400 days without a refresh. I'm ready to buy a brand new Mac Pro to replace my 6.5 year old Rev.0 dual 2Ghz G5, but I'm not going to buy a computer that was released over a year ago. If Apple had been smart they'd have *TEAMED UP* with Adobe for the CS5 launch and announced a new Mac Pro at the same time. Instead they've fired a shot directly across Adobe's bow with the bit that prohibits using their new Flash compilier for the iPhone. I'm honestly starting to wonder how much Apple cares about those of us that are "power users". None of their other models meet my requirements. Zane
