Apple seems to be taking a turn for the worse with this new iMac. Evidently they’re having trouble supplying enough of them to match demand. Snookums and I finally saw one in real-life at one of the Apple outlets in Sydney. I was not impressed. I thought that the round base was going to be all white and shiny, like the top of my pretty pretty iBook. Instead it’s kind of translucent with a dull matte finish. It looks crappy. It’s also much bigger than I thought. The monitor, of course, is gorgeous though.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Yeah, I guess. I’m a fan of the shiny though. It does get greasy, but I use the darn thing so much that it’s always open and I never see the top anyway.
I’ll give the iMac another shot, I guess. That beautiful monitor makes up for a lot…
I like the iMac. The top of my iBook can get greasy. Shiny’s too much of a distraction. I would always be polishing it. This supply problem is pretty ugly tho I won’t contest that. Anyway, you seem like a true Macfreak so in a few months you’ll probably love the iMac and want one for yourself. That’s how it works. It grows on you.
