My first new Mac!

[AppleSox]

Last night I finally purchased my first new Mac and my first new computer since 1997, a 1GHz eMac with SuperDrive and a gig of RAM.

Going from my old computer, a Power Mac 7200/75 to this thing is like going to a Lingenfelter Twin-Turbo Corvette.

iTunes rocks, too!

Very, very cool computer.

Just thought I'd share the joy.

P.S. I hope I posted this to the right forum. If not I apologize.

Count me in too!

After ages of talking about it, the little woman and I went to the computer store a couple of days ago and walked out with Dual G5 1.8Mhz and a 17" studio monitor for me and an iPod mini for her.

Life is good.

Still gotta keep my Windows/Lunix PC around for gaming though.

I still cannot believe how quiet the G5 is compared to the wind-tunnel that was my PC.

Congratulations to all those getting new Macs!

For those that are switchers double congratulations to you! I switched myself 1 1/2 years ago and never looked back.

We now realize that there is a better computer experience out there!

Good Luck to All

I usually get off much cheaper than an iPod mini. A pair of shoes usually does it. She's like a G5 in that new shoes must be added in pairs.

Dual G5 1.8Mhz

1.8Mhz

1.8Mhz

Guess it should have been "Dull 1800Khz" superunderclocked G5. Incredible battery life, no noise or heat problems

Congratulations man, and welcome to our world.

My first and current Mac is a 1Ghz eMac too that I got last November. I love it to death.

Hey. A guy has to do what a guy has to do.

Hehe...I meant Ghz. But you guys knew what I meant.

Congrats on the new eMac!

I'm still using a nearly three-year-old iBook - wish I could afford to update!

Enjoy it!
