iMac

The iMac I ordered a couple of weeks ago arrived this week. It’s huge. I’m used to my 15 inch MacBook Pro, this screen is 27 inches and has more pixels that the two monitors I have at work.  I have to look for the window I want. I’m sure I will be used to it very shortly. My laptop is 5 1/2 years old, it’s getting up there in terms of mean time between failures, so I bought this from Small Dog Electronics. They let you order a custom configuration and ship it, no sales tax and $5 for ground shipping. I ordered some extra memory modules and have 24 megs. I got the 2 MB graphics card as I do a lot of photo editing.

I had a minor glitch getting my FireWire 800 RAID array to connect to the iMac’s thunderbolt port via an adapter I bought from Apple, but it is working fine now.

I’m happy!

 

Yet Another Use for Google

Google knows all. Well, not quite but it is great for getting information that can be mechanically searched for. Today I needed to spell the word facetious. I first tried OS X Leopard’s built in dictionary, but my first guess was too far off. So I tried a few approximations in a google search and it found the spelling and definition. Cool. And useful.
