My new toy







OK folks as i hinted at yesterday i finally got my new toy.












Here is my brand new 24" 2.4 ghz iMac. This thing is fucking gorgeous. I've had to wipe the drool off the keyboard many o fucking time. (OK maybe it wasn't drool but that is what i tell my wife).


I know i mentioned this before but let me state again, when it comes to tech shit i am a complete moron and i truly was expecting on setting this up all night long.

First it came at the worst possible time. Tuesday. This is the night that my wife works late so i have to look after the kid for the evening until bedtime. Let me just say that she went to bed a little early this night.

So the first thing i do is take out the monitor and attempt to install the RAM that i purchased. My buddy Dave left me his small screw driver set for this because not only am i a tech moron but i cannot even do the simplest DIY stuff. You know how a lot of you had fathers that taught you how to build things well my father taught me how to pay someone else to do it. I didn't have a fucking screwdriver in the house. Well none of the screwdrivers fit exactly and i kind of had to rig a flathead to fit in there. I got the ram in no problem and was amazed at myself.

So next i set it up and turn it on. Check system profile and it says 4gb RAM installed. Great job done. Next thing i do is check the Hard drive because i heard of a lot of people getting HD upgrades on the refurbs. Well i paid for 320gb and they shipped me the 500gb. This shit never happens to me. i was truly expecting that they would have forgotten to put the HD in or something fucking wacky to comp for all the people getting the bigger ones.

Next i plug in the Ethernet and it automatically finds the network. great. Next step plug in the printer. Luckily i found the mac disk for the printer and was holding it in front of the screen ready to put it in. As i was going towards the drive the damn computer tells me that it found my printer and had already downloaded the proper drivers. Holy fuck in heaven nothing works this easy for me.

Since this is going so smoothly i say what the fuck and try to transfer files over my network from my Windows laptop to iTunes and iPic. I read a lot about how to do this and how i need to find the computers ip address and input it into some fucking menu and then hit transfer and then (wow i am typing and then a lot) find the appropriate folder on the mac. Well i set up file sharing on the laptop, go to the mac, open finder and the fucking folder is there already. i simply drag the folder into itunes and all of my music is imported . The same with the photos.

Seriously people. i think everyone should have one of these. This is the greatest computer for someone who knows nothing about computers because (get ready for the cliche..... Ready......Are you really ready) "it just works".

Now before i got my iMac i heard of this thing on youtube called "unboxing porn". i thought it was the stupidest thing in the world. Why the hell would people watch a video on people just unboxing there new macs. Yeah well after watching these for a day straight i was amazed that i was getting that funny feeling in the nether regions. So here are some of the components of the iMac for anyone that would be interested

Keyboard. Look at how thin this motherfucker is. I mean yeah I am a fat fuck with huge sausage hands but still this thing is fucking thin. Amazing shit. In fact the only problem i have with the computer is that they made the cord on this bastard too short so i cannot have it on my slide out drawer Oh Fucking well
















The Mouse . Yeah nothing i can say about that. Just a plain old Mouse. Fuck that man this is the Mighty Mouse. Yeah i know just marketing but i feel for it.




The remote. This thing is beautiful. You can control slide shows, movies, music and (man i just tried to think of something funny to say and was failing miserably in my own head so i will spare you the ridiculous humor). Great little thing.





And the screen shot. 24" of beauty my friends.














Lastly here is the complete shot of the whole thing yet again.

Sorry about such a long post and if you got through the whole thing may the lord Jesus bless you and all your heirs.

I know it is funnier when shit goes wrong for me but Fuck a man can get lucky sometime.

Talk to you all later,

TJ
