It’s something I’ve always been against, but I’m finally about to make the move to Apple.

I’ve been comparing it to ‘getting old’ in the computer world.  Gone is my desire to play games on the PC, I just want a computer to do what I need it to, without any issues.  I think this has come about due to Windows Vista.  On XP, making a computer do what you wanted was easy.  It’s (comparatively) simple and streamlined.  You put hardware in, you download the latest drivers, and you play your games, or do whatever you need to do.  Vista just seems to complicate things, for no good reason.  All the programs you might have got used to don’t seem to work the same, and due to the way technology is going, it’s even more difficult to build a futureproof computer.  Also, I HATE, when you buy a new windows machine, and it has been customised for the manufacturer, and there’s rubbish software all over it.  Dell for instance, you buy a new work machine, and the first thing you need to do is uninstall more than half of the software that comes on it.

So, enough about Windows…

I’m looking at the higher specced of the 20inch iMacs.  I had a play with the 24inch the other day, and while it would be nice, I can’t really justify the extra money for a very similar spec machine but with a bigger screen.  I’m currently selling anything in the house that’s not been used in a couple of days to buy it.

I can’t wait!
