Kevin, you just had to throw it in about Linux, didn't you... >:) I totally agree with you though. I actually used to run Ubuntu with Gimp on that, and loved it. But I come from long graphics experience, and wish to use many of the other programs, video, audio etc that run on macs. But thanks for the help. I love this list, btw. Lots of very nice, smart and helpful people here. Daniel Houston
