Carrick to Calgary

We've had a bit of a shake-up in our little family of Macs over the Christmas season, so we thought we should update the blog accordingly. We got a nice new iMac G5 with built-in iSight webcam, a fast top-of-the-range chip, a whopping 1GB of RAM and a 250GB hard drive. It's really very nice and the 20 inch screen is just lovely, really bright and clear. It also needs to have a lot fewer cables and bits and pieces associated with it, so our desk has become amazingly uncluttered:



As a result, we had to get rid of our old G4 eMac, and we also decided to sell my old G4 titanium Powerbook, sticking them both on ebay after Christmas.


Bye bye eMac


Bye bye PowerBook

We had to wipe the drives so all our stuff was securely deleted, so we hooked the four Macs up together to make a little disk-deleting-daisy chain:



So now we're down to a mere 2 Macs again, the new iMac and P's little 12-inch G4 laptop. Having said that, Apple's just released a few nice new models with the first generation Intel-Mac chips in them, and I think once they have the version 1.0 problems ironed out, I might consider upgrading to a nice new laptop...

Happy with the new Mac
