iMac G5 Arrives


I'm fully up and running on it and took a quick look at Final Cut Express long enough to know 'holy cow I need to read a book on this' I tried to import a few movies only to have it crash so I need to figure out what is going on there.

Finally. Since waiting on 8/31 when I placed the order the Fed Ex truck drove up and dropped of my new baby.



Was quite happy to see it. I cut the tape and put the knife away and came back to find this


Apparently he was excited too, to play with the box that is. I got it opened up and was happy to see a few things...




I was wondering a few things. First if anyone cares Final Cut Express pre-loaded doesn't mean anything weird other than they install it for you, and send you the book and the CD with it. I was happy to see that. I was really happy to see that they included the first set of batteries for the bluetooth keyboard and mouse. They also weren't those 'no name never heard of em brand' of batteries but Energizer E2's.



I got the 20" iMac 1.8GHz with 1GB of RAM, 250GB Hard drive, and the airport & bluetooth stuff installed standard. I must say, a 20" iMac is HUGE. This is it next to the iMac 15" I was using (gave the wife the powerbook some time ago)

Anyway. I'm fully up and running on it and took a quick look at Final Cut Express long enough to know 'holy cow I need to read a book on this' I tried to import a few movies only to have it crash so I need to figure out what is going on there.

All and all I'm pretty excited. I need to turn my head side to side when I read the screen though still. And I sure can cram a lot more windows open at one time around the screen.

Great stuff. I'll post more as I get to using this a lot more.
