	The G5 looks very impressive! Is there any word on just how a move to a G5 would improve the lot of the FCP user. I am thinking in particular of the improved speed in rendering. Although I use a top notch G4 the render times on a sizable project can still be hours! (Sorry Rick I have not done the 'offline' editing I know you use....). Any evidence of actual shorter rendering times ??

	Even with Offline RT rendering can take while if you do really complex rendering with loads of layers. I'd hope, maybe I'm dreaming, that everything would be realtime in Offline RT on a G5. We're all going to have to wait until real-world tests tell us the truth. I'm at Macworld in New York next month. I'll let you all know what I find out. Rick
