I just traded down my Macbook Pro, which, while being wonderful for four years was starting to slow down, too. Gotta keep a perpetual computer coin jar in this house. =) Congrats on your new purchase. Yeah, being able to open up multiple tabs is KEY.

And I had to reinstall my OS to try and minimize the time it took for various applications to load (InDesign allowed me time to grab a snack; iPhoto allowed me time to complete a PhD INCLUDING the dissertation and defense of said document). One suggestion my dad (yeah, I still get advice from my dad) gave me regarding iPhoto--he said it's essentially a giant database, so if you load everything into the main library, it's going to take forever to try and load all of that data. He advised me to create separate libraries for my various chunks of photos, e.g., one library for a vacation; another library for Fall '09; etc. You can create different libraries by clicking Control > New Library (I believe...I'm at work and not sitting at my computer). Then, when you launch iPhoto, you load the library using the Control key (Control > Choose Library)...again, I apologize for guessing at the exact terms used, but that's the gist of it. Hope that helps those of us who grew to hate using iPhoto! Hope I haven't comment-jacked, Alexa. Enjoy your shiny machine. We call that the pinwheel of death at our house.
