It's set for editing "in main window" which I think was the way it worked in previous versions. This problem with double clicking just started after installing v.6. When I change editing to "use full screen" double-clicking on a thumbnail works …

From what you say about what you do with the machine, the mac mini core duo would be fine (especially if you have a decent screen from your last machine). If you have a 21" CRT that takes up 1/2 your desk then an iMac might be a better bet. Either …

The 15" is totally portable for me. I carry mine everywhere in a backpack inside of a neoprene sleeve. Works fine on planes, on lap, watching movies, on a desk, etc. I used a 12" before and it was too small.

I ran xbench on my ALPB 1.67 (2G ram) and it was substantially faster than the 1.5. (and much closer to the MBP). Overall was 43.35--14 faster than the PB 1.5 and only 10 slower than the MBP. The CPU test was 65.42 (less than 2 points shy of t…
