I did not mean 5 minutes to load, but including separating layers window from the rest, opening first file, pressing tab which gets rid of everything but the photo, then reopening main tools and layers. Actually i just timed it and its only 1min 35secs, just seems like 5 minutes compared to everything else!
PSE5 version of CS3 does not yet seem available for mac and will probably only be for core-duo chip and/or OS10.4, so I think I just go on with 4 and curse Adobe regularly!
And Leif: Mac has a tradition of user-friendliness, but for last few years their market has moved to the iPod generation and the operating system is progressively becoming unecessarily complex (unless you really need to edit your own films and soundtracks at the same time as listening to something else and monitoring a chat room); at the same time forms of customisation that we took for granted are being phased out. However the graphic design of the interface is still fortunately as good as ever.
