So Brian, have you been sworn to secrecy all this time it was in  
development? You don't have to answer that if there are implications!

I'm very interested in Aperture, and I would imagine that Apple would  
have a long term strategic plan for it, similar to Final Cut Pro  
going in against Avid. So it's not just about what it is now as a  
foot in the pro door (maybe pretending to be a complement to PS -  
read trojan horse), but more about what it will develop into. In that  
respect, I'd rather start with it early, learn it and grow with it. I  
came to Photoshop late, bought CS and don't really use it the way any  
seasoned people do. I'm at a stage that I can make a choice either way.

Matt
