The reason I'm tempted by the new MacPro is that the work is already done.
 It is a package specifically designed for photographers (or videographers)
with speed and photo processing of prime importance.  If there were a PC
already put together with the same attention to photographic needs, I would
go with that.  There are just too many confusing choices to make any one of
which could hamper performance if I made the wrong choice.  Even the
experts can't agree!  I just want something that works when I turn it on
and doesn't have to be upgraded every 6 months.  Right now, I'm waiting to
see what's coming up in the near future on both platforms.

Thanks!

Tina
