AS regular Java reports near-total satisfaction with his new 8-core firebreathing Mac. 

I didn’t mention how impressed I am at the professional feel and sheer design elegance of the macpro. I thought the g5 was, (and is), a beautiful machine but the MP is several steps beyond. The case layout and ease of drive and ram additions is inspired. Big kudos to Apple.

He goes on to make us cry with lust with his raid test results:

Opening a 335meg tiff from the Raptors takes 4 seconds! Close and open it again and it takes 2 seconds!!! The raid hit Write speeds of 221 MB/sec. 

Java, when you’re done calculating pi to the final digit with your new Mac, will you keep it to yourself please?
