v. intr. [MIT AI Lab, after 2000: orig. probably from a Ren & Stimpy episode.] Any seemingly pointless activity which is actually necessary to solve a problem which solves a problem which, several levels of recursion later, solves the real problem you're working on.

Aperture (almost)

Am I on the bandwagon or am I out in front about to get run over?

I got a shipping notification from apple...only after I had already seen the ups, "you need to sign for this" note on the door.

If they had sent it three hours earlier, I would have come home early to receive it.

Capture ONE LE, did almost everything I think I want but not all at the same time

~$120

Capture ONE PRO, better but I had some trouble trying to get it to do what I wanted even though it should be supported. (multiple sessions, multiple settings at once on an image)

~$590

Aperture, looks like it does basically everything I want and more, hopefully it isn't too slow on my not quite supported powerbook

$499 ( $249 go student discount)

The price is right, Aperture wins even thought I am drinking the apple kool-aide buying a product that I have only ever seen in demo videos probably running on the biggest baddest fastest quad G5s with 16GB of RAM and an X-serve RAID array behind it.
