OFFICIALLY SWITCHED!!! w00t!

[clykins90]

I've officially switched! I bought a refurbished iMac G5 . Put more ram in it, added an airport extreme card and it is SCHWEET!

I love the ripple effect and h.264 is jaw-dropping. Halo doesn't look too bad on it either! I've got it customized to my needs...for now.

I'll post pics when I can.

First post on my iMac G5.

::::looks at powerbook, your getting old!:::::

how much did it cost you may i ask?

 

[clykins90]

Including RAM and AE card: $1000. Plus I got a free printer and blue logitech mx510

Now that's a good deal if I ever saw one. I have NEVER seen an iMac G5 offered anywhere for $1000 or less. You sure got yourself a nice machine. All I can say is this...enjoy Mac OS X - you'll discover something new every day for a while, like I did when I started using Mac OS X in the 10.1 era (I "switched" from Mac OS 9).

Hey, congrats on the computer!

As a side note, you may want to reduce the size of your sig in coordination with these rules. (Arn's 2nd post, rule #6).

Congratulations!!

It may take some time to get used to it. (It's so intrinsically different to Windows - contrary to people saying it's the same) but it's such a liberating experience to find you're not dominated by Windows and it's obscurities.

I think the strangest thing for me was not having to click randomly everywhere in the hope you'll find what you want. I was like "ooooohhh, it's right there!!

Fixed.

Thanks!

Fixed.

Thanks!

Yeah, no problem. It'd just suck to have your sig taken away is all.

Apple's Special Deals page has had the refurb Rev A 17" 1.6 for $899 since the Rev B's were announced. The Rev A 17" 1.8Ghz is $999.

Really hurts the resale value of G4 flat panel iMacs...
