Or a new iMac like yours for the kitchen, where the PowerMac used to live and connect to cable, so I could watch cooking shows. I guess an actual tv would probably be cheaper though...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029572377894297361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-4432285042272262212007-09-06T06:56:00.000-05:002007-09-06T06:56:00.000-05:00I was until that last one...-J.I was until that last one...<BR/><BR/>-J.Jokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672407657347134623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-72632701823617907982007-09-05T23:30:00.000-05:002007-09-05T23:30:00.000-05:00I started with a 512K.

And a gray clamshell iBook followed by at least one and maybe two white iBooks and I'm on my third iPod.<BR/><BR/>The first three were great. The iMacs and iBooks not so much ... I think their big selling point was their Internet-readiness which as far as I'm concerned, is like buying a car for the stereo system. I mean, you can get tunes into a car in many ways, and Apple? I was already doing fine connecting to the internet.<BR/><BR/>But this iMac really is pretty awesome. If I really wanted to scramble my brain cells, I could watch TV in one window, blog in another, listen to music, IM somebody, and have cybersex. All at once!<BR/><BR/>(You're dying to shake hands with me now, aren't you?

But I don't have a Terabyte of whatever, nor do I have a 24" screen or speakers or the ability to watch tv on the damned thing. It's pretty much a $2,000 paperweight that sucks me in with it's beauty but then discards me like yesterdays lunch a short time later. Fickle, fickle Apple, why must you be so pretty and shiny and sexy and yet be so incredibly bad at doing, well, anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-56919065868331241522007-09-05T19:13:00.000-05:002007-09-05T19:13:00.000-05:00I'm so glad that I'm not the only person who does ...I'm so glad that I'm not the only person who does this sort of stuff.
