…a super-sweet G5! Woo!
I’m running Panther (10.3.7), which is actually what I was running before, so it’s too bad I didn’t get in on a sexy OS upgrade, but that’s ok. I have the new iLife suite, including Garage Band, which I hope to get awesome at eventually. I wanted a dual processor, but they were having a special on single processor 1.8 Gh models, so that’s what I got. I shouldn’t complain; not many workplaces would buy me a Mac in the first place, much less a super-sweet G5 with 1.25 GB of RAM.
I wonder how wimpy that’s going to sound when I look back on this post in a few years. I remember reading a book when I was a teenager in which the character had designed a computer game, and another character asked him how much memory it required. The answer?
“A megabyte.”
The response?
“Nobody’s going to buy a game that requires a whole megabyte of memory! Keep dreaming, pal!”
Haha.
My wife and I just picked up a 12″ PowerBook and a 14″ iBook (respectively) with our tax refund and we are in love with them! It’s out first foray into the Maciverse (iVerse? 🙂 ) and we are pleasantly pleased. I love Panther, it’s just so fluid and easy to work with (even with a 12″ screen)
I know what you mean. I always take a wimpy, non-definitive stance whenever anyone asks me about technology for fear of being laughed at in future history books.
