I’m now a mac user!
iMac, Apple

Well this was a bit of an impulse (Well after a week of research, but it is expensive!) purchase, but I have to say I am incredibly impressed with my new 24″ iMac.  I’m very glad I took the time to go down to an Apple shop (The one on Oxford Street/Regent Street), as it made me realise that the 20″ model wasn’t going to be big enough, coming from using dual screens.

My first impressions are really positive, and i’m even enjoying the learning curve for all the various different keyboard shortcuts and alternative ways of doing things.  The whole experience just oozes class, from the packaging to the subtle time saving features of the operating system.

I did get off to a bit of a sticky start though, when i restarted for the first time upon turning it on for the first time it kept going into a kernel panic, and wouldn’t load into the OS.  In the end after trying various things suggested by helpful forum dwellers, I resorted to reinstalling Leopard, but selecting an options which retained all the applications/settings/files I had already started adding, and this went seems to have restored everything to perfect working order :)

In honour of this beautiful device I fired up Illustrator (Mac version of course), and did this quick bit of work.
