On it’s way – iMac 24

The iMac was due to be dispatched yesterday and according to the email I got in the morning from Apple it did leave the factory on the day it was supposed to leave. There is a facility in the order to follow its progress and I will be doing that on a daily basis. The carriers report back to say where the parcel is when it arrives somewhere new.

Last time I got something from Apple it came to me via Holland then Barcelona. I will be getting excited when I see Barcelona on the tracking because it is only a hop skip and a jump away by then.

The older iMac will be going to a good home with my son. He needs a Mac for his art work for college next year. He wants to be doing Flash animations plus photoshop and Illustrator work, the iMac will be just the job for him.

iMac ordered

I expect to get the 24inch iMac after the weekend, there is a holiday here in Catalunya on Monday and Tuesday and maybe Wednesday will be the day the computer gets here.  iexpect to hang another monitor off the iMac soon enough. I want to get a second 24inch screen and use it for the graphics work. I will get one that doesn’t have a shiny screen.

Have you seen how beautiful these iMac’s are? All the computer built into the monitor. I went for a 500 GB hard disk and the better video card with the 512MB memory rather than the 256MB that is on the standard video card.

Probably will get the extra 2 GB of memory as soon as I can afford it to take it to the max of 4 GB. I got the 2.8 dual core version, The top of the range is 3.06 but reports say that the 2.8 is better value at the moment.
