This thread makes a great read, especially after finishing the comics in the morning paper. Although I prefer Blu-ray for its greater computer use potential, I just want this format war to end. Please someone, drive a stake through the heart of o…

I voted for CS3 as there wasn't a choice for what I really am waiting for: CS3 and 10.5.3. The only hardware that I might be possibly interested in is a widescreen iPod, but that items seemly will appear much later rather than sooner.
