Bounce! Sigh!

I got my new 24" iMac last night! That screen is amazing!

My previous iMac is still alive - but fell over when I tried to upgrade to Tiger (bot even the most recent OSX). Specs say it should work, and it does, until you try to do the online updates - then it falls over and strange things happen to the screen. It's been reinstated with Panther on it, but I decided to upgrade the whole system.

Of course, I'd backed everything up before attempting the upgrade but... well, I've forgotten the password for one of my iinet mailboxen. I have it written down in a notebook, so now if I could just find that... You may remember that lots of things got thrown in boxes during the kitchen renovation and then during the repair of the termite damage out the back.

But I have a shiny new toy! Unfortunately, I have no time to really play on it until after Alhambra Nights this Saturday.

I'm saving me pennies for a new iMac. I can only justify the 20" but I so WANT the 24" ...

My G4 won't upgrade to Panther at ALL and it's got some needs to repair, but I've completely lost the Tiger disks, so I'm a bit schtoofed right now. Also it takes 12 hours to back up my iTunes folder (!!!). I need a faster external drive ...

Congrats!! And enjoy!!

(ps Fiona :) ).

Having finally had time to play with it properly, I'm really finding it beautiful. I admit, I couldn't justify the 24" if I looked at things logically, but then, looked at logically, I can't really justify having both a PC and a Mac.

I'm still investigating the things about Leopard that are different to Panther. So far it's all good and Apple have finally developed a mouse that I like.

Anyway, feel free to come visit and drool over my mac. :)
