Whawhat? You blew well over $3000 on a "serious hobby", then realized you don't have time to "really get into it"?
You need much more than just "purchasing advice". You need to learn to spend money wisely, sparely, efficiently.
Seriously, what were you thinking? You could have gotten the 15-inch PowerBook instead. $500 saved. You could have gotten Final Cut Express instead. $1000 saved. You could have tried with iPhoto before getting Aperture. $499 saved. You probably didn't need the whole CS2 suite.
You could have easily spent half the amount you did and still ended up with an excellent laptop with included software (iLife) that lets you do basic video and photo editing. Once you realized doing that that you wanted more, you could have started to buy software.
What you did was very immature.
