I've used it and it's got a very OS X-type interface, and has many of the same features as Photoshop. It lacks the price aspect of Photoshop. As far as Boot Camp, I've experienced no problems, but then again I'm a Tiger -> Leopard upgrade. As far as your DVD drive complaint, there are a few terminal commands and even keystrokes you can use on bootup to eject a disc.

If I had things my way, I'd get a Mac just like you did (budget constraints, sadly). Hope you're having fun - although it seems like you are (just a few issues - but that's to be expected of new OS's, right?). By the way, would you happen to be interested in a link exchange? If you are, feel free to reply at anytime and we can arrange it! Thanks, Herbert Hi Joe,
