Haven't been around in a while, but thought this was as good a reason as any to check in.
I bought my first 20" iMac (first apple computer, too) in Jan 06 when Apple started using the intel chip. I instantly fell in love. I couldn't believe that I'd been on a PC for so long. And adamently so.
2 years later, at new release time I wanted another one... a new one. But I didn't buy. My iMac was fine. And on and on... an Apple TV, MacBook, multiple iPods and an iPad later... I found myself coming up on my 5 year anniversary (this Jan) and thought... it's time to do the deal.
So I just bought this config:
IMAC 27"/5750/SD
With the following configuration:
PROCESSOR 065-0056 2.8GHZ QUAD-CORE INTEL CORE I5
MEMORY 065-9452 8GB 1333MHZ DDR3 SDRAM - 4X2GB
HARD DRIVE 065-9455 2TB SERIAL ATA DRIVE
GRAPHICS 065-9457 ATI RADEON HD 5750 1GB GDDR5
OPTICAL DRIVE 065-9458 8X DOUBLE-LAYER SUPERDRIVE
MOUSE 065-0214 MAGIC MOUSE+MAGIC TRACKPAD
ACCY PACK 065-9908 NONE
REMOTE 065-9502 NONE
IWORK 065-7672 NONE
FINAL CUT EXPRESS 065-7674 NONE
APERTURE 065-7673 NONE
LOGIC EXPRESS 065-7675 NONE
FILEMAKER 065-8307 NONE
MICROSOFT OFFICE 065-8198 NONE
KEYBOARD & USER'S GUIDE 065-9943 WL KB & USER'S GUIDE
COUNTRY KIT 065-9500 COUNTRY KIT,IMAC 27-INCH
I know I coulda saved about a hunge by buying 3rd party memory (I did this with my first iMac) but I wanted this thing to arrive ready to go. I'm SO excited. I can't wait for my new baby to arrive. It literally feels like I'm waiting for a new baby to come into the family.
Yeah, I have a problem I guess. Hahahahah.
Even better news is-- I really didn't NEED this. My first gen intel iMac is still chugging along fine. This was a complete "it's time" buy-- it's not based on anything other than it's been 5 years since I last bought. So the old iMac will get cleaned up (externally and internally) and put into the kid's room. They're already apple kids using my current iMac and mom's MacBook, but now they'll have their own.
Very, very excited!
Sorry for the rant. But most of you know how I'm feeling and I'm sure will excuse it.
