Needing something to use to judge speed, I fired up iPhoto and proceeded to zoom and scroll about.  Snappy.  Snappy enough that I had to attribute at least part of the performance to iPhoto &#8217;06.  My iPhoto &#8217;05 install, containing only around 3700 of the rated 25,000 picture capacity, had been so prone to beachballitis as to be nearly unusable.  Although I was a bit leary that my year-old G5 wouldn&#8217;t perform as well as the cooler-than-thou CoreDuo chunk o&#8217; geek-porn I tried at the store, I went ahead and dropped the 79.00 USD to pick up iLife &#8217;06.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell:  worth every cent- and that&#8217;s just based on 10 minutes of playing with iPhoto &#8217;06.  So. Much. Faster.  No really- it is.  I can actually use iPhoto again without force-quitting it every 10 minutes.  And the &#8220;Scroll Guide&#8221;, a see-through pop-up bezel that shows the Month\/Year as you scroll, is a nice touch.   Rotating photos in gallery mode is much faster as well- nearly instantaneous, even with a dozen pictures selected.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll try to post a few words about the other iApps when I fire them up (except iWeb&#8230; don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll need that).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I was at the mall anyway Staurday night getting new cell phones &amp; service (from Cingular- but that&#8217;s another post), I stopped by the Apple Store to check the new Intel iMacs.
