8-core Xeon MacPros are out

[Adam Bridge]

I use Aperture and Lightroom -- I'd use Aperture but Apple can't be
bothered to support DNG properly so my Leica M8 is unsupported without
a hack and not a good hack at that. So Lightroom gets the nod since,
golly gee whiz, Adobe DOES care to support DNG properly.

I'm hoping that Apple MIGHT, someday, suppport the M8 but in reality,
for a "professional" application, they have made a not-so-good start.
Sigh. I'd REALLY like to use it for all my images. And it supports my
1Ds MKII just fine. Maybe Leica didn't pay them.

Anyway...back to 8 cores....
