Although I just have decided for the 15" MPB in favour of the black MP (the
BlackBook) to replace my TiPB, I would say you would get on fine. But, if my
needs was "only" Photoshop I would wait until Adobe releases a
Intel-version, and instead go for one of the last PB G4.
Hey which list is this anyway? On my way to the office I did fetch two
developed rolls of film; one Reala with 10x15cm prints and a Ilford Delta
100 film with a contact sheet. Very fun and very OM. And here beside me on
my desk is sits my E-1 w. DZ 14-54 and DZ 35mm Macro
