I got an iMac!

// July 15th, 2008 // Family, Miscellaneous

Lately we’ve been thinking about getting a new computer.  The old one was getting a little out dated, noisy, slow, etc.  I had built it about 5 years ago when I was finished up college.  Bought all the parts from TigerDirect.com and put it together myself.  Was a nice little project, good computer on the cheap.

Now, 2008, got a family, taking lots of pictures, listening to music, surfing the web…the computer has become a central part of our household.  It sits in the middle of the house.  It was time for a fun, easy, cool computer.  I debated with getting a high end gaming machine but after discussing with the wife, I really am not a hardcore gamer.  So long as I can play a decent game here and there, I’m fine.  I use the Wii (and maybe an Xbox 260 someday) for my main gaming.

So we decided to foot the bill and get an iMac.  A nice 20″ beauty.  Sits perfectly on the desk, fits great.  It was a bit more expensive than I’d like, but it truely is worth it.  But, we got that Federal Rebate Check…I should thank Bush for my iMac I guess.  So its great, a nice break from Windows.  I use Windows all day, and don’t get me wrong, I think Windows is just fine.  But OS X is just a breath of fresh air.  So I got my mac, and I love it.
