Thanks for the review, Brian.  I have used the dual processor G5 but given
the extra cost plus the need of a monitor, I'm probably going with the iMAC
G5.  OTH, maybe I can be patient!

> I have a G5 with 2.5 GB of RAM and it is a very sweet machine. I use a
Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 with it, and it works beautifully. (I use Nikon
Scan; don't like VueScan very much). I haven't yet found a thing about it
that I don't like.

buy more RAM for the thing. 2.5GB runs out pretty fast when you're racing to
meet a publication deadline and have Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, and
Fireworks all open at once. The G5 will take up to 8GB, and I don't think
that's excessive for the kind of work I do with it.
