Christmas + Birthday: New Apples!
Well, after many many moons of way too much deliberation, and then now ceasing to worry about the inheritance for my two boys, mortgage payments, and groceries, finally bought new Apples:

Refurbished iMac 24-inch 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SuperDrive
1GB (2x512MB) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300)
250GB Serial ATA hard drive
Slot-load 8x double-layer SuperDrive
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 128MB GDDR3 memory
Built-in AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0
Built-in iSight Camera and Apple Remote

Brand new MB, 2GB RAM, 80GB HD, superdrive, etc etc...

Also, Canon IP4300 and the Canon MP600, along with MS Office for Mac, AppleCare for both, and .Mac.

So, going to be much fun learning, playing, connecting, etc. as we take a byte out of these Apples...

That's sweet! Does it come with Apple stickers???? Those are almost better than the product!



I hate how MS makes all their Mac stuff in "stylish" boxes and Windows stuff in boring rectangle boxes. Though that will change with Vista.

lol,,, yea, there were a couple Apple stickers.

And, while they are quite , they don't help me surf the net, d/l tunes, view images, or such - at least not yet in this version. Will check the sticky stuff on their back to see about that...
