A friend of mine informed me today that she got a iMac for her birthday. So far only one non-techy friend of mine has had a Mac, so now it is two! She said she got the “huge one” and commented that (on Mac OS X) “It is really different“. I hope she enjoys using it, with that massive screen, it really is humongous. I guessed it was the 24-inch one (judging by her comments), but it could have been the 20-inch one as well. I’ll make sure to ask her. I don’t think I even blogged about the release of it! BTW: That is not hers above, just some random one I found on Flickr. Now to somehow get all my other friends to get Macs (James, Ben I know you’re reading this!)… There should be a word for a person that has transitioned from Windows to Mac. I should invent one…

I would love to try a mac.. still not too sure if I want one purely because they’re shiny, or whether it could replace my Windows computer.
Also, Lyssa seems to have something against them…
Yoiu shouldn’t want one because it is shiny, but because they are really good. They work great, look great and are a breeze to set up.
So you wouldn’t get one because your girlfriend is against them:
1) Why is she against them?
2) That wouldn’t stop me!
How to call a convert? That is a good idea. It should be up to Apple to come up with something cool, but… a Switcher? Mm, not so glamorous. If I come up with something, I’ll let you know.
As far as I’m concerned, I used to have an old Performa some time between 1997 and 2002, Now I’m back to PC, coz I needed something quick and cheap and the offer was there. But my mind is made up. As soon as I have a decent job again, it’s either saving or buying on credit, but 2007 will definitely see my return to Mac. It has to or I’ll go mad. I’m still unsure about which one though, MacBook with separate display or 20″ iMac. Will depend on my actual funds and how mobile I think I would need or want to be.
Well, long, boring and sad story about me. Congratulate your friend and tell her I am jealous (well, you know).
I’ll make sure to tell her, after I stop drooling over that gorgeous screen
