About Upgrading Mac Apps Now…What’s a fella to do?

I’ve been considering the issue of whether to upgrade my Adobe applications for the Mac or not. I’d love to get Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS2; but with all the furor during the past week over which Macs are going to get Intel CPU’s first, I’m not sure it’s something I want to do. With rumors flying that the first Intel Macs will surface at MacWorld 2006 in January and no one sure whether they will be Mac Minis or iMacs, I think it makes more sense to wait until Adobe releases CS3, or whatever it is Adobe’s going to call their next release. That package will probably contain code for both PowerPC and Intel, giving me a leg up on transitioning to Intel based Macs, if I chose to. It makes more financial sense to wait. That doesn’t mean that’s what I’m going to do. I don’t make much financial sense when it comes to computers.

But, then, the three things in life that are the most fun don’t make any financial sense, i.e., computers, airplanes, and women. (Substitute your own three un-guilty pleasures there.)
