TOXE: Wow 8-core. I am getting one too in the summer. Now as far as the bug, I have not stumbled in to that one yet. I have been using several Macs with different configurations, and I have not see this yet. I usually start a project on the desktop then move it to my "work" HD. But then if I continue working, I can access the files just fine. I did have a project that I could no longer open, but I wrote that off as a corrupted file. Now you are not referring to "runtime" stuff right?
