iPhoto

Is a pure pile of shite.

So I fire up iPhoto, and watch the beachball spin for a while.  It 
takes about five minutes, and then finally it decides I can click on 
things (nice of it).

Finally once I can do stuff, I go to my photo-library (that takes a 
while) and select all the images.  I then drag _all_ of the images to a 
folder so that I can finally put my loathing of iPhoto to bed.  Its 
only 625 images, it shouldn't take that long, right?

WRONG!

First it creates 625 zero-byte files in the folder, and then starts.  
Chug Chug Chug.

The finder at this point is completely hosed.  Chug Chug Chug.

My laptop is now generating the same sort of heat-energy as the hoover 
dam (12" PowerBook, but thats for another site).  Chug Chug Chug.

Oooo! Whats this! A dialog box!  Its telling me.... it's telling 
me...... ITS TELLING ME I CAN'T COPY THE FILES!

iPhoto just spent the last ten minutes and consumed a similar amount of 
power as a shuttle launch to tell me that I couldn't copy the stupid 
files.

ARRRGGRGGRGGGGG!
