Despite the fact that I have used PC's for something like 15 years, God doesn't time fly, I have to say that Apple have finally tempted me!

The new iMac looks, sounds and performs superbly and now with the new Intel Core Duo processor sounds, to me, like the perfect computer.

In June 2006 I wrote here how I wanted one of the new Intel iMac's, well some 8 months later I have finally ordered one! At the time of writing this part of this blog entry I have yet to receive it but have just been told that it should arrive on or before the 20th February so I have been getting myself prepared for the big switch over.

Well yesterday my new iMac arrived and so I thought I would post a few initial impressions. I think the first thing I have to say is Wow! The iMac is just so well designed, it's beautiful to look at yet it isn't design at the sacrifice of functionality. If anything the design compliments the functionality and simplicity is the keyword.

If you are considering or have recently made the switch from PC to Mac one of the things you will no doubt have heard said time and time again is that there isn't as much software for the Mac and there is for the PC. Whilst it's true that there is a significantly wider choice for each type of software like Word Processors, Image Editing, FTP etc for the PC a lot of them are quite frankly rubbish. The Mac on the other hand may not have as wide a selection but generally speaking the quality of the applications is a lot better.
