After making my post about getting an iMac, I did some googling today. Not only can I put Open Office on it for free, another program I need for my schooling/research should work on it. Nice! As it turned out, I probably wouldn’t need to run Windows on it through BootCamp honestly.

The iLife software? Frackin AMAZING! I have to redo the Farm’s website sometime in January/February and am not looking forward to it. I am such a perfectionist when it comes to the look of my websites. If it doesn’t meet my expectations down to the pixel I get frustrated. This software has a plethora of templates I can customize (via my own images and what not) and they are so far more professional than the crap that comes with FrontPage, which is why I never used them. Sorry Microsoft, but that stuff looks like what Geoshities provides.

I found out I could get almost 300 bucks knocked off through my school account. Kudoos! That probably beats anything waking up at 4am on Black Friday is worth.

I’m sitting on my PC with two word documents open and Internet Explorer open. I’m in my chatroom as usual, and had the Mac store open in a tab. I said “I need to close this, what can distract me? I know, I have to watch “Lipstick Jungle” still.” In the first 5 minutes Wendy is sitting there on a MacBook. Is that a sign or what?

Then of course I had to close down Internet Explorer and start it again, as whatever I was doing was taking up too much memory (hello 2 gigs on this thing) and froze explorer and outlook express. Hey I can at least say I think it’s been almost 2 weeks since I actually had to CTRL+ALT+DLT and pull up task manager and physically close down iexplorer.exe 🙂

Needless to say, I bought the iMac 🙂 Thoughts when it arrives and I’ve used it enough to give a good review.

  1. Come to our side… you’ll love it! Don’t be a PC using nerdy republican (because all PC people are nerdy republicans… just look at their most recent ad campaign??)

  2. Welcome to the dark side. You should get “mac tune up” and “tech tool pro” they are very easy to use and will make your mac run better and faster. Safari is a good browser but I use firefox most of the time. some things work better on one or the other.

    Everything is super customizable so be sure to play with the preferences of your applications. The architecture is very open and intuitive. I really think you are going to love it.
