Stumble It!
An Apple of one's own
Tiny and Baby are unimpressed with our awesome new iMac G5 (left in photo). Get real. When will dinner be served?
Big-time moving and cleaning of all things computer today when the iMac G5 arrived mid afternoon via Fed Ex from Shanghai via Anchorage, South Boston, East Boston and finally to our front door, only ten days after we had ordered it in the frenzied aftermath of losing first our main and then our fall-back computer within a day of each other. Now Tuck has a fab rebuilt no-name computer with all the latest XP, Photoshop and free anti-everything-invasive software from Greg -- our geek of choice -- and we are sitting pretty with our new Apple with Tiger OS. 'Hope to get up to speed tomorrow by figuring out how to install Photoshop and get our e-mail account up and running. Tuck thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Kitties in tandem! And to think I complain when I have one on my keyboard or messing with my mouse...

Did the G5 pass the kitty smell test?

It is good to see Mac late of the Orient Express peaceflly amid the kitties in her new home.

Congrats, I won't let my kitties near my iMac, they'd get fur all over it, chew the cables although they would have a hard time with the kensington lock. I have it chained to the desk.
Photoshop, insert CD, should have an installer, if it doesn't start automatically will have a package to click on. Everything on a Mac installs easy and the only things that require a reboot are security and quickime updates, maybe java but that's it.

Hey congrats! We're all Powerbooks on this end, which can be a problem when Chloe decides to sleep on one ...

Hope you're enjoying the new toys... even if the kitties could care less! *grin*

Thanks for all the encouragement, gentle readers. 'Am having fun, of course, but still don't know whether cats will sit atop the display panel -- only 2.2 inches deep. Also printer -- Canon MP700 -- has no driver for Mac (Apple store man told me yesterday I should strangle the Canon people). Photoshop still an issue, as my disk is Windows specific, but Apple people think Adobe will give me a deal.
