Moving on to an iMac

January 8, 2008 · 14 comments

Well.. I knew it was time to make a move. I replaced my home XP and Ubuntu system with an iMac couple of days ago. Here it is!

Mac’s a different beast and sure its going to take me a while to get adjusted to. A few quirks like the ‘control’ button on the keypad, the Expose circus, QuickSilver commands etc.. are going to take a bit more time. More over, with this iMac, I think I will be doing more of Productive stuff, than trying to tweak and treat the computer endlessly :). The Wide screen display is very impressive and the noiseless performance within such a slim casing is truly great engineering. Hope to share more in the coming days..

Thanks Shankar.
@Venu: I bought it from the Reliance iStore. This 20″ iMac made me poorer by 64K.

Came to your site looking for iphone (in India) info and saw that you got a new iMac – that’s awesome! I have used various Macs since 1992 – so, if you need any pointers, drop me a line at on gmail – my id is ajmanik.
