So its been almost a week since bringing home the wife’s new iMac. Well, she would argue that I’m only using her as the excuse since it was my hard earned cash bonus from work that some how drug me down to the local Apple store and excitedly leaped from my pocket into the hands of the hip 20’somthing with pressed black t-shirt and adorned Apple logo. Figuring the lies we tell ourselves never hurt anyone i’m going to stick with the story that it was not my desire to own this brushed white silver piece of pure simplistic elegance… err, I mean her iMac.Whatever the story (lie) I find myself torn between two worlds. My trusty XPS Dell that and the line of PC’s it followed has served me well. I have written 100s of lines of code, widdled away a years worth of hours on graphic design, and advanced my carple tunnel distress from video games to that of a data entry clerk at the Internal Revenue Service. However this new iMac with seems to draw me in for all that it lacks… a tower, fan noise, lack-luster visuals, and cumbersome interface. ”The force is strong with the week minded” and it is a weakness for sure. I’ll have some good times for sure, me and my wife’s iMac but this fancy too will pass. I’m already missing my hot-keys and my editors, missing my faster speeds and higher memory… oh who am I kidding I miss my video games…
