I've decided I need a supercomputer. HAL might come in real handy right now.

This is probably not an issue for those of you who don't do postwork. But for me, it's becoming more and more painful to create high resolution art in Photoshop, pieces that will ultimately be printed and must be high res. Can anyone relate to the excruciating wait times from that bloated program called Photoshop? It sucks RAM like a hungry vampire.

I usually have a hearts game open while I use Photoshop, because it sometimes takes twenty minutes to render a filter and if I don't have something to do while I'm waiting, I'll tear my hair out. Sometimes I actually clench my fists so hard----while waiting, waiting---that I have marks inside my palms. Some filters/actions aren't too bad---others take a full twenty minutes to execute.

I have a decent computer, and it's jazzed up with as much extra RAM as it can take. I also have an extra scratch drive. Not enough. I am praying that when the 64's come out this summer that these problems will be solved. It's so painful to create this way.
