As ye ken I am Mac, allas have been Mac but this new 27" iMac is unbelievable!
The OS is just brilliant but the speed and quality of image has me knocked sideways.
If there is anyone out there thinking of getting a new 'pooter, go Mac and go iMac. Being honest, the 21.5" woulda done me and you'll be overwhelmed by it too but I had some money (at last) and decided to push the boat out.
This is a love affair that started in 1985 (when I got into The Sisters) so I'm not some fly by night.

Get an iMac or a MacBook Pro, you will thank me.

I have never seen you and Steve Jobs in the same room at the same time. Coincidence? I think not!

I'll have to pay you a wee visit soonish to see your new toy. Don't worry ,I won't touch it.

no srsly, ye widnae ken just how rad and awesome this thing is, Dude

I am now with added WIN!

and yes ye better, I found some nasty ellpees of yours that Scotty returned about twa years ago!

Have to say I agree.
Me wee bro's got one & it is dead nice.
I have the MB pro & love it to smithereens. (+ I don't get on with mice, so the track pad's purrrrfect for me)
For a desk top masheen the imac is the dog's.

As Darth Vader said Impressive, most impressive..even for a mac

they really are a bit special aren't they?

this is my work macbook

*Jealous*

We've been doing some work with one of the other companies in our building and they all have shiny 21.5" iMacs. While I'm stuck on this piece-of-sh!t Compaq with Winblows XP, 1GB of RAM and a 40GB HD.

I do some of my work in Linux in a virtual machine and it runs quicker than on the fùcking host machine!

... I'm glad I've got a computer at all ... ...

Apple is nice, though, worked with them for a short while some time ago ... ...

Interesting comparisons to my early '09 Mac Pro. Speedy devils, our macs.

good afternoon, I am James Blast not only am I excellent I am also full of WIN!

but I am soon to be full of FAIL! -

I still have my 20" Dell hooked up to the old G4, I really don't feel the need to connect it to the iMac, I had a wee homer to do for a friend the other night and d/l FreeHand to get it done when I opened it I was gobsmacked at the amount of workspace this thing is even bigger than my Sony 24" at work

of course that'll all change when we get our shitty peecees in a few weeks
here's the training we're getting:
1 day split into
morning - using a Window's peecee
afternoon - Adobe CS4

you're talking about a team of 10 people who have only used Macs for at least 15 years and are only versed in CS2

what a fuckin' joke!

you're going to have to forget ALL those keyboard shortcuts and learn a slew of new ones

harsh

Dear Mr. Blast,
We are delighted to hear that you are Full Of Win and that you like your new 27" monitor. However, we'll be coming round later to take it off you in response to your comment about being surprised that it is bigger than your Sony 24". You see, a 27" monitor would be bigger than 24" - in fact, by 3" or a factor of 12.5%.
We will ascribe your surprise to being a habitual Mac user and therefore needing all information to come in a shiny white box. We will replace it with one of these, which we feel you will be more comfortable with.



Thank you.

good afternoon Bastard, you are perfectly correct in your observation, what I meant to type was that the image quality was so much better than the Sony

I've made a complete fool of myself, I can only ask forgiveness and slink off...

@ Barry
aye but I mean half a day on what amounts to an alien OS then another half day on a very complicated suite of programs that have had a major overhaul since two versions back, they're 'avin a laff

The little old thing I use at home

pffff... is that all?

Well, If I get any more stuff in it I won't be able to carry it.
Does for me though.
Better than that toy I am made to use at work.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Bastard!

You're guilty of bringing this all on us

the shining path Zed, the shining path

once you Mac you never go back - FACT!
