You sound like a switcher candidate when Snow Leopard comes out.
Apple has a relative freeze on new functionality, and is dedicating
their next release to quality and efficiency, to run faster in less
memory, and possibly even on older machines that currently do not
support Leopard.
You have to admit, that's a pretty incredible thing to announce in the
"rampant featuritis" world of software.
I think Jobs sees hard economic times ahead, and is willing to
sacrifice a future ~$1,000 sale -- a sale that might not happen if
it's a choice between gas, food, the mortgage, or a new computer --
for an almost certain sale of $125 of software that will make you feel
like you have a new computer. "A new computer on a disk." Hmmm... has
a marketing ring to it... :-)
BTW: my drum scanner is running on an eight-year old Mac, that still
does everything I need it to do, including Photoshop 7!
