CS4, 5D Mark II, and misc thoughts

In case you didn't notice... I've updated the Blog theme slightly. Yes, it's a bit more blue-gray now. Slightly duller perhaps but it's just a start for now. I'll end up tweaking it over the next couple of days. Of course probably the blog will be harder to view with smaller monitors and iPhones. I'm trying to get a plugin for browser detection and adjust accordingly but it doesn't work right yet.
Anyways, I've had my 5D Mark II for two weeks now and loving it! The 21-megapixel results taking some getting used too but they're so buttery smooth and silky in terms of tonality and depth that I can tell instantly the difference between the 5D and my 40D. The bokeh is also so amazing. Anyways, looks like I need another pair of Terabyte disks... looking at 2008, I've shot over 250Gb and that's with 10 and 8 megapixel cameras. 2009, with 21-megapixels and 1080p video...
And of course, the next thing comes the horsepower to push all those pixels. Although I've had a quad-core CPU for a while now, I think RAM is probably the next thing to upgrade which then comes the question : Vista 64-bit or wait for Windows 7. Windows 7 is not too far away but probably too long a wait for me. Shucks. Have to think about the upgrade to CS4 as well since it's 64-bit on the PC now and look at all the RAM...
