I recieved my new 17″ iMac today from the bizarrely rapid TNT man, and I have to say I’m impressed.
Just a brief post here:
- Front Row is good, but going into Front Row is a near orgasmic experience.
- Installing applications is both easy and hard; especially when no one tells you how to do it properly. I had a little case of white drive icon every time I started up MSN messenger (fixed it now, though).
- These things sure are powerful!
- I’ve had three fatal crashes already. Fatal as in ‘hold down the power button’. Unfortunate, but I hope the incident won’t be repeated (I think it had something to do with Tomato Torrent…)
- The Mighty Mouse is indeed mighty, and there is a fourth button that slipped past me before… pressing down on the ball and taking the shell with it will, by default, display the dashboard. Nice!
- I don’t think there are enough U
- No dead pixels! Yay!
- The remote is amazing; light and quite nice to look at, although the magnet in the iMac could be a little stronger (just a little mind you).
- Damn Apple for switching the @ and the “!!!!
- Photobooth is… well, see for yourself:
SB 2 ports. All of mine are used up already.
Videocast coming soon!
If the @ is above the 2 and the ” is next to the enter key then you have a US style keyboard. I have always bought my laptops from the USA (used to be a lot cheaper) and they all have that arrangement, but Apple might be doing it like that for everyone just to appear different.
Ah you Brits and your keyboard-related idiosyncracies.
Hmmm, it looks like your mac is effecting you in many ways (according to photobooth).
Photobooth runs horribly slow on my Mac Mini + USB Camera.
[...] Last night I think I reached a new level for peak flow of productivity on my new iMac. As you can see, I had a lot going on when I was installing that WordPress installation. Thank the Lord for Exposé. [...]
