okay, just making sure that time isn't going faster than I think...   
(i'm using osx, and right about now, I'm very happy that I use a high  
level programming language...  most of the c++ people I know are  
going nuts)

Just out of curiosity, from a programming standpoint, will Apple's  
switch to x86 be a piece of cake for Scribus?  I'm no expert on low  
level programming, but I'm guessing that even with the same processor  
family, operating system differences keep the platforms at least  
somewhat separate...
