Wow that’s a huge iMac…
Yesterday, my new computer finally arrived, after a week of waiting (and a bit of buyer’s remorse.) Today, I’ve spent most of the morning/afternoon setting it up… but wait, it’s tuesday, tuesdays are usually reserved for Meep/Mr. Geeklife days of fun. Notso today. I’ve been allowed to pretty much coop myself up in my room setting this thing up.
So, what did I do last night/this morning?
1. I took apart my 9 year old G4. (a bit bittersweet, but it is back in it’s cave, just sitting there.)
2. I dusted my desk and peripherals. It was gross…
3. I attempted to unravel the rats nest that pretty much had accumulated due to my futile attempts at keeping said 9 year old G4 up to date.
4. I plugged in the G4 and Targeted it without a monitor.
5. I excitedly got the 27″ iMac out of the box.
6. I started plugging everything in and started it up… BOOOONG!
7. As much as I dislike the “welcome music”, i sat through it and watched it like it was my first time seeing it.
8. I/it began to migrate my data from the Ole G4 to the New iMac. (it took about 2 hours. (that’s it!)
9. I ran software updates.
10. Went to bed around 3am.
11. Woke up around 10am.
12. Started working again on setting this up… primarily consolidating files.
13. Moved iTunes library and updated iPhoto and Mail.
14. Resynced my iDisk.
15. Ran to Bridgeport to exchange the wrong monitor adapter so I can span my screen.
16. Finishing up minor settings.
All while watching episodes of Futurama.
This iMac is huge, my desk is beautiful and my wacom tablet finally works perfectly!
I’m a happy geeky girl.
