Apple computer!

Well, I have avoided anything to do with Apple products for as long as I can remember, when I was working I sometimes needed to use fruity computers on customer sites... always took me much longer that using a PC (probably because I never used them enough to get used to their weird way of doing things)
Now I'm waiting for the delivery of an imac from ebay ... it was going for a silly price and I was seduced! (I feel so dirty!!) It's a 2009 model but after a bit of googling it looks like it can the latest OS using Open Core Patcher.
It will probably end up dual booting mac OS and linux.

I'm sending you a parcel, too.
Ignore the ticking, that's just my watch I left in it accidentally.

My boss decided to make the move to an MacBook and has kicked herself in the butt for it ever since. It's not that it's a bad computer, it's that she prefers the familiar and has shot herself in the foot a few times learning to do things a bit differently.
I will stick with my HP laptop but dare anyone to try to take my iPhone from me.

Nah,.......... he does the wife's iphone and pad. Keeps me from constantly purchasing new ones.
