That's fast shipping. IIRC, this took two and a half weeks to show up. And even then, the post guys didn't have me sign for it... They left a this conspicuous box right at the door!

Some early photo of the new iMac

This just looks like any other standard plain outer box Apple used.

The content:

The batteries for Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keyboard are not bad

And I bought a copy of Parallels Desktop (box copy), it comes with a handy manual.

I will post more photos once my Grumpy is free. My Grumpy is a bit busy, I have to book a time with him for photo shooting

About this Mac:

Well, it's not that fast I have to admit.

Thanks.

And it's fast, in fast the fastest computer I've ever owned. Runs Windows at very fast speed :-)

My Grumpy agreed to pose for photos.

And for the size comparison:

PowerBook is 12-inch, my Grumpy is 35-inch tall, and the new iMac is not as tall as my Grumpy, it's 24-inch.

It's not that fast, and not that big, and I can't afford 2GM memory module (stick). If not mistaken, I believe it is slower's than Pu7o's Intel-based iMac and Don's laptop.

17in iMac with a bit upgrade on spec.

Antony is poor.

And yet now you say it's 24-inch?

Well, you upgraded the processor, hard drive, graphics card, memory, and display size... This thing sounds like it's almost twice the price of my laptop! Thus, you are richer than I am (and might I remind you, I am now broke, you most likely are not).

Don, your laptop is 64-bit.

I did not upgrade the hard drive, 250 GB is the default option for the model.

Antony, your iMac is 64-bit.

I upgraded the hard drive... and it was still cheaper!

Wow, Grumpy has a new big friend! He looks very happy!

Congratulations on your new iMac Antony! I am so envious!!

Your set-up, Antony, is almost exactly like my son's. He's encouraging me to go the same way but right now with the kitchen renovation I can't afford it. Someday. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy your "beloved" system. :wink:

The colors on the monitor look great and I like that keyboard with the exposed keys!
