Shiny New Toy!

10 September 2007 - 5:01pm -- Joseph

Warning: geek-out ahead.

When I returned to work, I was due a new machine, and Said I'd like a Mac. This doesn't always go down to well, as they cost a little more, are harder to support, blah blah blah... So I wasn't sure they'd give me one. So imagine my mild surprise and great delight when the answers was 'that's fine, would you like to wait until the new iMacs come out?'

Of course, given the opportunity to get a brand new, just-out, shiny new toy, with the only drawback being I'd have to slum it on an old pc for a bit, I gladly accepted. Once the new iMacs were released we ordered it. Naturally it was delayed (new release stuff always is), but last week it arrived, so now I'm looking at shiny new titanium iMac with a screen bigger than out telly.

It's luv-e-rly...

It's a 24" screen, which is quite an adjustment for me, as I've been using a 15" screen temporarily so at the moment I'm loving it, but a bit agoraphobic - the whole office can read my screen!

Okay, enough gloating, just thought I'd mention that sometimes The Boss does treat you nice...
