on topic: we have a few GSoC projects coming to maturity and we will issue a series of incremental releases. this is to avoid the protracted freeze that bogged us during 0.8.0 because we tried to release too much at the same time.
this means that we need OSX testers to make sure that what we release builds. I am confident that even if our OSX users community is small, it is very active and forthcoming and will find the resources to test that snapshot releases build. The next expected release is 2009.02.0, with the added feature of GPU stitching and some incremental improvements to the user interface by Thomas, Gerry, and others.

The first time since a long while that an Apple products convince me that it is worth the price tag. My only concern is that in a few months it will be obsolete as Apple will move to a Nehalim based platform, so probably 30% more power (or more efficiency) for the same price. If the acquisition is not urgent, I'd wait. My Thinkpad a20m is still around. By now it is underspecified even compared with a NetBook. I had my son playing on it and it is rock-solid.
