Good point. I would also add that even if apple doesn'tpost 7.0 right away, it will be posting 7.01 shrtly after 7.0 comes out. There are bound to be a few problems and apple will (as much as I like to bash apple, I must concede) try and fix and distribute a new system. I consider the mac a hobby as well as a research tool, but I am busy enough that I will not use 7.0 when it first comes out becuase of the likely decrease in my productivity 7.0 would effect. I will read the net to see, just in case it is particularly bug free.
