I just figured out that the older versions of photoshop (such as CS2) do not have near as many options to edit Raw as yours does!

Yeah, that's the main reason why I haven't started shooting raw yet but I gotta admit those raw edit you posted look great, much better than the originals not to mention the way you managed to correct over- and underexposed areas. I am not sure if I have asked you this before but have you considered to get CS4 since cs3 doesn't work on your comp.
