I use a version of Photoshop that Apple and Adobe didn't seem interested in supporting in Leopard. Put a bad taste in my mouth.
It was a complete rewrite of the os and yet they didn't name it 11. I almost upgraded and would have lost the use of a piece of software I love.
Because of this I have also not upgraded my final cut studio either. I suspect that I will lose this fight this year. Because my equipment is 2004/5. And will probably self-destruct.
None of my Macs are Intel either. Time went by so damn fast. I didn't realize I'd become obsolete. Funny, huh?
Yeah, all signs are pointing to Apple discontinuing PowerPC support in Snow Leopard. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they also excluded the first Intel models because the Core Duo isn't a 64-bit chip.
With Open CL and Grand Central supposedly making the most of a given computer's processor and video card, they're going to want to showcase those capabilities with a power-hungry program that can take advantage of them, so I bet you we see a new version of Final Cut within a year. Imagine video encoding that's 40-100 times faster.

well, I change the pic constantly and just pick out a Windows background color to go with it if it's a smaller pic. It just happens to be the one I have right now. It's a shame though because I NEVER see my desktop. I always have a monitor up that tells me if anyone is on the phone and I hardly ever need to minimize that. So, I don't put much effort into my desktop. the end. But thanks for liking it!
Clean and pleasing to the eye - I like it! Although, that much white would probably blind me on my 24" screen, whose brightness can't be turned down very far.

Holding out for Snow Leopard, or did Leopard just not offer you enough incentive to upgrade?

And what is your wallpaper? Looks like either a shot of Mars' surface or your garage floor.
