Watching videos on the iMac
Well the iMac is up to date, and I’m currently importing my iTunes library, display is nice, sound is good – performance still untested…

Well it’s arrived – is it good; only time will tell…
in disguise
my ipod travels with me almost all the time now, I find it very useful during work particularly if I’m doing documention or having a stressful time…
I hate Apple Stores…
Just been into the Apple store in Bluewater, why do all the shop assistants prance around with an over inflated air of self importance?
Walking around with their finger up their arse, heven forbid you mention you’re a pc user, as they inflate even further sucking all the oxygen from the locality.. And returning to their little “clicky” group of buddies at the “Genius Bar”.. Sure Apple makes good hardware but the software availablity is cr@p, and costly.. And for those swapping from pc to mac, including myself have invested a lot of software wich is pc only…
Still I enjoy telling them that I only want a Mac to put XP on as XP has better support for software and hardware.. “It just works..” as the advert goes – like hell it does, believe me!
My next desktop?
The iMac 24″ – nice…
My next desktop?
Had a play with the new iMac 24″ and the display is fantastic, with the Mac OS it was quite happy playing all the videos without any issues – I wonder how it handles XP?

Looking to replace my tired Sony VAIO for something a bit whizzy – trying to choose between an Alienware Aurora™ mALX, a DELL XPS M2010, and an iMac 24″ (With Windows XP/Vista installed)
2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3 GB 66 DDR2 SDRAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 256MB SDRAM
500GB Serial ATA drive
Very alien
Well, the environment although looking simple is very tricky to use after using windows for 8yrs (ish).. I’m going to go and get a book today, cos I can’t even get the printer working or figure out how applications are installed… They seem to install and run from the desktop!
I’m sure I’m missing some trick..
Ok, so where’s the rest of it?
Well, it was a small box to start with, just opened the plain brown carton and inside was a smaller box!
Well, I could be taking a step over to the dark side, or is it into the light ?!
