Obligatory iMac G5 Opening Porn
Well, the box arrived. In pretty good shape except for a ding at the bottom. No majorly crushed corners like some experienced. For those of us that analy keep our boxes this is A Good Thing (tm)
Of course I'm going to probably obsess about that sticker being right on the screen. Anyway.
My little helper came along while I was putting the knife up above his reach from slicing the tape.
(and for those of you that care, he's one year old, and a whopping 32" tall)
The obligatory 'freshly opened' box shot.
Fanned out the stuff. Was happy to see a final cut express CD. I was wondering with the 'preloaded' comments if it'd be a recovery CD or the actuall CD. I also was quite happy to see 'real' batteries (Energizer 2) vs. the typical free batteries being some obscure brand you never heard of
Then I got the foam out and here's the 'in the box' shot.
And then here it is on my desk getting ready to transfer stuff. Note I was browsing this very thread obsessing that it was on a truck somewhere here in the area at the very moment.
The first power up, no smoke. hooray.
Transferring files, as I headed out the door. No flash this time so you could read the screen.
So far, very quiet. Right now I'm playing iTunes, uploading photos to Fotki, and other stuff. I converted some Apple Lossless files to AAC but had to go downstairs. The Powerbook Gen A in the room is louder than this thing.
