Quartz Composer
Saw Quartz Composer (part of Quartz Extreme running in Tiger) in action on Leonard's powerbook tonight and was really intriguied and impressed. Hardware accelerated flying 3d fish and RSS feeds text in an environment, very fast and beautifully rendered. The programming environment looks similar to MAX, but, ahem, clean and pretty. Are we getting Tiger for at least 1 machine? I'd really like to use this.

It's brilliant, I've also been playing with it for the last couple of days.
Apparently it's the outgrowth of an app called PixelShox (http://www.pol-online.net/pixelshox_technology/)-- Apple hired the developer, which was clearly a good move.
I'm sure we'll be upgrading all the G5s to Tiger by the fall - (right Marientina?)
