I could get up and GRAB a sandwich off the counter in that time. and DANg iT i think this needs to be adressed!!! so,, do a guassian blur on a 12800x10240 24bit image on your mac!!! will it even do it???? while your waiting for it to happen, can you switch out, and start you phone dialer trying to dial in to the Inet? .. and then once that is started, throw a floppy in, and start formatting it, and then pull open MSWord, and start typing a letter to mom.. while photoshop processes, the disk formats, and the modem dials?(and hangs up, and dials, and hangs up aughghgh :).... This is just a question...? Anyone??? can you??? I can.. never seen anything close to it on a mac! G0rKey
