Well, after all the thinking and waiting; after the first, second and third thoughts, today was the day I went shopping. It’s a 2.66 Ghz 20″ iMac. A big thank you to AT of the Apple Store in Solihull for his help and advice. Over the next few days and weeks I will do the occasional post on getting used to it, and list them on this page.
A few quick and early impressions.
- It is really nice and easy to setup, and it allows me to reclaim some space.
- I wish the @ key was where I expect it to be
- In trying to make the links above I kept wondering why it wasn’t copying the locations. I eventually realised I was hitting Control+C etc instead of Command+C.
- I’ve been delighted how easily my contacts and calendar events transferred simply by syncing my Palm TX.
- It’s been great fun watching Windows install in a VM in the background, while I’ve been working on something else.
- I’ve always thought Windows was good at drag and drop. I’m beginning to discover the Mac is drag and drop on steroids. This will suit my way of working.
Anyway, I must get on with the conversion / file transfer process. But so far I’m saying to myself: “Good move”
