My New iMac

Well, I have a new toy again.

This one’s the New iMac. It’s been really interesting to see the reaction of the people around the dorms; it’s ranged from love (the Mac guys around the dorm practically fondle the thing) to hate (my roommate, extremely anti-Mac, has dubbed it the Desk Lamp of Doom). I personally think it’s the best computer I’ve ever had. I was finally able to transfer my files from my $20 Linux box to my new iMac using an Ethernet crossover cable and a few tweaks, so now I have my complete music collection on my digital hub. I’ve played around some with iTunes and iPhoto, and I also love the combo CD-RW/DVD drive. I’ve also been downloading software left and right; my newest picks are Fire (an all-in-one IM program) and various screen savers. You’ll hear about those soon enough, don’t you worry. But for now, I think I’ll go back to working and playing with my new machine.
