woo!

thrilled to see adobe made a super hight level PS to milk us of more coin. however it sounds like the toolset offered for that bump is pretty good for motion peeps.

hope CS3 is as good as we have been waiting for. should really help apple sales as most graphics pros have been waiting on CS3 to jump on the intel machines.

i'm highly currious as to how my G4 powerbook will push the new apps. pretty well i hope as i can't afford new software and a new machine.

Yep, and Creative Suite 3 will be published on the 21st (I think)...

Here's to hoping that they bundle Ligthroom in it as well...
