Mac 24 inch…
Just had a friend (Steve at Bark at the Moon) get a new iMac 24 inch. Sweet is definitely the word. I have to say, if nothing else, it is the best flat panel I’ve seen. I’ve looked at many flat panels and not really cared for any of them. Always thought they didn’t improve on the picture quality of my CRT enough if at all. Some looked worse. Not this Mac. Absolutely gorgeous looking.
I have never really played with OS 10. Seen it and can find a browser which is all i’ve needed. Some of the new things he was showing were cool. And of course they looked really slick, regardless of usability.
Now, would I get one? It could be a possibility. I wouldn’t mind having a mac to test browser compatibility. Would I ever leave behind all my PC stuff. Doubtful. I ‘m a PC guy and like futzing sometimes. I also like playing with tons of different software and being able to buy anything I hear about. From what I hear, I could easily run Windows in a VM and all the business and working apps would work wonderfully. But I would still want my high end machine at home for games.
Anyway, definitely draws you to it and is way cool looking.
On a related note - my iPod is dead. Don’t know what happened. It was playing along and appeard to lock up. Seeing as how that happens once in awhile, I just went to reset it. I got an unhappy face and a weblink on the screen - http://www.apple.com/support/ipod. Now, nothing. So I’ve got to send it in. This is the second time in 2 years.
