AE and iMac

I=92ve been stuck since many of the tools I use will die if If I = upgrade.

How many of you are running AE on a =93loaded=94 iMac? Does it work = well?

I know I=92ve walked into production companies for meetings and ALL I = see are iMac=92s editing video.

This may be an practical stop-gap solution. Let me know if you use an = iMac for AE and it works well.

Thanks.
