Over the weekend, I received a neat, wee gift - a copy of Aperture. The trick - it's software that's only available on Macintosh. After various compelling discussions with various odd people over the past few months, it's only going to be a matter of time before I end up jumping back into the Apple boat.  I can see it now... if only for photography related applications.  It's going to be a hard pill to swallow, as I haven't worked on a Mac in more than a dozen years. Yeesh, and that was whay back when you had to coax a Mac to play on the internet.
