VERY nice machine indeed, especially hand-built. But quad core 3.0 GHz dual and 16 GB of RAM is an "easy" off-the-shelf purchase for Mac users (for a rich $9,000 -- $5,600 of it for the extra RAM). And get this - with the addition of Boot Camp and a Windows OS, you can run Poser 7 for Windows and your other Windows 3D apps on it, too! Now that Poser 7 is fully adapted to the new Mac OS and Mac-Intel machines, we of the long-suffering Poser Mac Nation may at last have parity with, if not temporary hegemony over, the Poser PC majority. Hazzahhhhhh!
