Back in January they were slated to come out "in the second half of 2006", which by most companies standards means Christmas, but apparently Intel managed to make it the earlier part of the second half of 2006.

: the MacPros are.
It's a bummer that you've had so many issues with your MBP already. I know a MBP would be a colossal performance improvement for me (I'm on a 733 MHz G4), but for similar money a Mac Pro offers a significant performance increase over the MBP and is drastically more expandable.
: What do you do, anyway?
A little of everything. My main job I don't even need a computer for, and for school I could get anything and it would do, but I do a lot of freelance stuff. Most of it's projects for my own enjoyment, or favors for friends and family, but sometimes I actually figure out a way to get paid for it. I spend most of my time in Photoshop, and of course I realize the performance increase I will get with either machine will be slight until a UB of it ships. I also do a fair amount of video editing in FCP, encoding and authoring DVD's, encoding video for internet. I do a little bit of Flash work, and beyond that I want the performance necessary to play with stuff I haven't been able to play with on my G4 (Aperture, Motion, etc.) Every once in a while I decide that I'm going to learn 3D animation software like Maya, but I never seem to get very far. Oh, and I'm a musician so some work in GarageBand/SoundTrack/LogicExpress.
In between all that I have to make time for the occasional game as well. :)
