It might just be me, but I found it to be more user-friendly than Photoshop, and my workflow was MUCH smoother than when I use Photoshop. The fact that you'd need a good deal of RAM to run it is a definite drawback, but if you've got the option to upgrade your machine once the G5 is no longer the top of the line, it might be something worth looking into further.

I applied to an Apple Store opening soon in town just so I could get the discount. Yup, Bachelor of Arts + 6 years of design experience and I want to work in a mall. You want a Macbook??

Regarding Aperture, I say go for Adobe Lightroom instead. It's not as pretty, but it's still good, and doesn't have absurd system requirements. That’s sick, booting XP in 10 seconds!

I tried it out on a top end G5 tower at the Apple store and the interface was pretty slow for some things. I think you'd need as much RAM as your machine could hold. This was the version 1.0, so the speed issues may have been addressed. Apeture, no. I tried it out on a top end G5 tower at the Apple store and the interface was pretty slow for some things.

Here is my advice. If you get the "free with rebate" printer, DON'T use the install disk! The install disk isn't for intel based macs, and I nearly lost my mind trying to figure out why Photoshop wouldn't open anymore! Adobe had no clue, Apple had no clue. I still don't know how I figured it out. I originally really wanted the macbook, but the iMac had so much more inside that I couldn't justifiy paying more for less, especially since I already have an iBook. (I'm really just waiting for the logic board to fail for the fourth time so I can use it as a paperweight.) I am writing this from my new 20″ Intel-iMac. Here is my advice.

Have you used Apeture? Heard anything about it? Some of my photographer friends are not impressed, but I see some things that sound good. I like the design control of the books too. Any input?
