Oh, yeah

So, yesterday Cynra & atomiks and YHB headed out to Sheridan Mall Sherway Gardens for a shopping trip. Cynra's iMac predated the invention of DVD technology, so we decided that instead of getting me a new PC, we'd pick up a new iMac for the house.

A good choice, methinks. It's the smallest screen model, but we upgraded our RAM to 2 Gigs and I picked up Sim City 4, which is more in depth than I remember.

All sorts of fun, in any case. It's so much prettier on the living room table. And now I can use my dang ipod.

And you wanted that 24" iMac baaaaad. You wanted it's icy, wide-screen goodness.

That, and you definitely want to see "300".

Oh, lord, yes. That was a thing of beauty.

But I have no problems with the model we do have. It's the Ram as much as anything.

Oh, this article from Apple might be of use to you and your iTunes Libraries.

I'd set Cynra's library to be the one that's moved into the Shared folder, since there's probably more music there right now. It's a bit of a PITA to have to update all the music in your iTunes library each time...

Oh, the jealousy is palpable. That is my #2 object of desire, after the Wii. In fact, my plan is to get a nice video capture card for the iMac and use it as my Wii display. They're shade-coordinated.
If only I was gainfully employed, and had ~$1500 to spend. Le sigh.

Oh, yeah, it's a fine machine, but I'm gonna be paying for this until my next tax rebate.

Still, very sweet, even if it is the little pig of the models they have available.
