Aperture: Lustworthy

I want very badly to get a copy of Apple's recently-announced program called Aperture. Spend a few minutes on the website, and you'll understand why.

Unfortunately, by my calculation, that $499 program would actually cost me right around $4,500, based on the need to buy a new dual-core dual-processor G5 (aka the G5 Quad) with the horsepower to run it and a digital SLR camera to justify its use. (And, really, a 30-inch HD Cinema Display becomes a necessity, so tack on another $2,500 just for good measure.)

Hmm. Maybe the time has come for a tip jar... ;-)

Went to the Aperture site, my goodness! I understand your wanting it. By the way I enjoyed the list about your trip. Great shots. Need more pictrues for those of us who would rather look at pictures instead of reading.:)

Hey it's for company use. Therefore is can be written off. Well, part of it can.

BTW - I've have weaker excuses for justifying a hardware upgrade

Gene, thanks...I may post a few more photos later. You should have some good ones from your trip, too...

Shannon, write-off or not, it still requires cash, if you know what I mean.

Let us hope that Apple doesn't start selling cigarettes.

When I saw the RGB histogram, I actually made an O-face.

Not the "O-face"!

Um...what's the O-face?

I have visions of Eddie Murphy in SNL. Or Macauley Caulkin in Home Alone.
