I think it's gonna be called Macintosh Pro or Mac Pro for short.

I'm going to ride it out until spring or summer. I'm expecting Final Cut Pro 6 to be announced at NAB in April and that it will Intel ready. Then I'll finally be ready to put my trusty PowerBook into retirement.

It's still too early, right? I mean is any of the Adobe software packages compatible with the new intel CPU?

I'd be interested to see how CS2 runs on a macbook pro with Rosetta. even if it's 30% slower it seems that the net gain (since everything's supposedly so much faster) might be decent.. I don't know.

As far as new purchases go, I'm holding off until the flesh out the line up. they need a workstation model and a 17" laptop at the very least... I'd also love for them to come out with a tablet of some kind - I've been in quite a few meetings lately and I've seen more and more tablet PCs. The idea is nice, but - as usual - microsoft's mucked it up.. and thus far the machines themselves are pretty innadequate.. (sort of like how MP3 players were before Ipod)
