Introductions are in order all around I guess.  Im just a normal guy, I guess.  I work from home, drool over cool things and have nothing better to do than to write about it and maybe, JUUUUUUST maybe, someone will think its as cool as I do.  

I’m going to start today off with the thing that inspired me to be here today telling you all how cool all this other stuff is, my iMac.  From the day I first touched a computer (in the 2nd grade) I have been a PC guy.  Every computer that I had ever owned beforehand was a PC.  I built PC’s, worked on PC’s and scoffed at Macs.  Then I happened to meet a new friend that had one. It was a 25” iMac. One evening I started playing around on it and I loved the way it was designed, I loved the way it performed, hell, it even ran Windows!  

I started plotting.  I had just talked my wife out of buying a MacBook about 3 months earlier; how was I going to talk her into this?  Easy solution, but slow implementation.  For about 2 weeks prior to purchase I started complaining, at every opportunity, how my PC was messing up or how it was broken.  Then I mentioned it to her and voila, she relented.  We went to the store and I ended up purchasing a 25” Imac with a mid-grade processor, 500G hard drive and 4G of Ram.  I also purchased Parallels for Mac to move my old Windows hard drive over to the mac.

In about 45 minutes of opening the box I was up, configured and running windows.  I love this machine, I love this OS and this is the gadget that really launched my love affair with other gadgets.  Right now it is my main computer that I use for work.  My setup includes the 25” iMac, a 26” secondary monitor, Apple extended keyboard and an Apple Magic mouse. (write-ups on all of this forthcoming)

Ill leave you with this, a picture of my current set-up.  Until the next time I get around to writing…
