iMac
I am so spoiled

Happy birthday to me!

Okay, it’s not my birthday until the 6th, but Hubby purchased my present at the Apple store tonight. A 20″ iMac with a 1GB RAM upgrade. Unfortunately, they didn’t have it in stock, so it’s on order. The estimated delivery date is September 19. Oh, the anticipation! I will be waiting with bated breath.

Before taking the plunge, I phoned Derek to get his feedback on whether he felt the iMac would be a good purchase for me. After picking his brain for about 10 minutes, I talked it over with the Hubs and sealed the deal.

I am officially the newest convert to the cult of Mac. Oh, my. I may never leave the house.

    “Once you go Mac, you never go back”

    Did you get the free Nano iPod too? After all, you are a college student.

    And I heard there is a $100 printer rebate too. Get a $100 printer for free!

    Way to go, Donna! W007!

    Oh, I hope it arrives in time for your birthday! I would love to go Mac but my very Linux oriented husband says absolutely not. :-(

    Enjoy your wonderful new technology! And have a wonderful birthday!

    You know why your order is delayed? You’re probably getting one of the new Core Duo 2 models that are supposed to debut on Sept. 12.

    Lucky for you that the apple store didn’t have any in stock, or you’d have some remorse once the new ones came out.

    Welcome to the CoM. :) Like bruce mentioned above, come 9/12/06 we may see updated Macs (Core Duo 2, a 23″ iMac, etc.).

    [...] A good friend of mine, who is was a longtime PC user, has converted (with the help of a very cool husband) to the CoM with her very own iMac. [...]

    Woot!

    Check apple.com for the details on the new iMac.

    You now have two choices, get a price adjustment on the 20 inch model, or pay a little more for the 24 inch one.

    If it were me, I’d go for the 24 inch model

    Happy birthday, and welcome to the club! I returned to the Mac fold after years in Windows land just last year. Now we’re the proud owners of an iMac G5 (pre-Intel), MacBook, Mac mini (kids’ machine), and Mac G4 tower. It’s just bliss!

  16. Richieon 06 Sep 2006 at 5:57 pm

    Happy Birthday!!! Hmm. I’ll have to think of something that’ll compliment your new iMac (will you go with the 24-incher?). :D

    Shari’s comments is hilarious!

    Wow, thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone!

    Also, thanks for the Mac info — I am going to see if they’ll let me upgrade it to the 24″ iMac. Woot!
