Work iMac
I bought an iMac for my work computer this morning. I paced back and forth in the living room this morning, trying to justify the expense. I sat down and created a spreadsheet to see my purchase options. I wanted to go the inexpensive route by buying the mid-range Mac mini and a used 17″ Apple Cinema Display on either eBay or Craigslist. I realized that after buying a Mac mini G4, monitor, mouse and keyboard, I could spend a little bit more and get a 17″ iMac G5 with twice as much disk space, built-in Bluetooth and Airport Extreme.
The salesperson at the Apple store sold me on the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard rig. It’s gorgeous!

[...] I have my home office Windows computer that’s still an okay machine. I could have installed Google Earth on it but I was honestly afraid that if I did, my ethernet card might run the risk of no longer being recognized by Windows XP, or that my CD burner might actually catch fire. That would require me to endure the painstaking and arduous task of replacing hardware and ultimately, reinstalling Windows XP. Today Apple announced the newest iMacs and the brand new MacBook Pro, both with Core Duo Intel processors. I bought a G5 iMac for my work computer a couple months ago. It is the gold standard for a desktop PC. As are most Mac owners, I was somewhat upset when the new iMacs were announced with the new Intel chip architecture. I told my office manager, “GOD XXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXX XXXXX MOTHER XXXXXXX IT’S XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX SHOULD HAVE XXXXXXX WAITED!!!” But we were all told that Apple and Intel were partnering up last year. Caveat emptor. What is this new processor that makes the 2006 Macintosh computers so super sweet? Well, I’d tell you about benchmarks and stuff but, I really don’t understand benchmarks. When I think of benchmarks, I think of what a notch in a headboard means to homeless people. [...]
