[IMAC]

So.....I manage to apply for half a day's leave and went down to SGL to get my imac. When I went there, to my dismal the Imac 2.0Ghz model was gone cos the father and son who bought the imac earlier before me on the previous Sat had their Imac exchanged cos the Superdrive was not working..so meaning that the Imac 2.0Ghz which i wanted was exchanged...AND there was no stock available! haaaaa..apparently sales of this model seems to be too good.

So...I guess it was fated, I was meant to purchase the other higher end model, IMac 2.4Ghz with 320GB HDD and a 2600HD Pro gfx card which costed me about $400 more. Anyway I got some more further discount cos I traded in the new keyboard and mouse cos I already have the new keyboard and the might mouse is some lousy shit. SGL also ordered a few sets of the same model on Monday and quite a few sets of ipods and other macs. Anyway it was a very fun time @ SGL cos Miss Kim seemed to be very chirpy that day and I was mistaken to be SGL staff cos I was helping out Ms Kim hahaaaa. Quite a few customers actually came to purchase RAMs. Also a customer bought them some chewy donuts, Ms Kim asked me to take one haha..

Carrying this 13+KG thing back home by bus no easy task, it is heavy! But definitely not as heavy as the 30KG Powermac which I bought 3 years ago. Here is the moment of unpacking, the thrill is still there which is nothing like when u unpack anything else.

The carton which housed the white imac box (with my leg haha to show the size) :

Opening the top : ahhhh~

The white iMac box: ooooh~

iMac up and running (also bought a 500GB external hdd; WD My Book Home Edition with FW, USB and eSATA connections):

Just another pic:

The iMac has a ridiculously bright screen, I has to adjust it to just only 3 levels from the lowest level and this is the level which my eyes are comfortable at. After reading online on how to adjust the colour profiles, the colours look better. Response so far has been speedy enough, have not really tried heavy duty stuff but anyway what I do most are internet, MSN, MP3s, even a mac mini will suffice actually. Things lacking now are a Office suite which I will be borrowing iWorks 08 from a friend and most probably buy Pixelmator for Photoshop stand in, only costs $89.95 and its features, layout are all similar to Photoshop.

Wee, Valentine's coming soon.
