I've always been afraid of glass desk tops, so I've avoided getting anything like that. I'm more of a solid wood kind of guy anyway...

Doesn't that paint keep you awake at night, dreamryche? I looks like it glows in the dark.

Photo taken with iPhone in low light - not the best quality...

solofx7 · Feb 20, 2008, 11:02 PM

great shot with an iphone.

BoingoBongo · Feb 20, 2008, 11:39 PM

Yeah definitely. I would never have guess it was a phone picture!

How do you like your iMac?

solofx7 · Feb 21, 2008, 03:43 PM

me?
I love it.
The 24inch is super bright and rocks.
i would have liked a better videocard, but for now it's great.

So far I'm loving it. I want to dig into the new iMovie this weekend. I've been sitting on a tape full of footage for over a year that I have been wanting to edit down, the new iMac will give me a great opportunity to put something together.

By the way, I am loving this new keyboard. Feels so much like a notebook keyboard, but a little less mushy.

I must admit that I love the new keyboards too, the only problem that I have is that the cable is not long enough. Thank goodness I have a wireless one too.

Yeah, the new keyboards are great. I bought one for my white iMac. It's nicey to type for long periods of time with no strain or pain.

Mine came with a USB extension cable. Maybe yours was hidden?

imitchellg5, when did you get yours, and how did you get it? If it comes with the iMac, it is not supposed to come with an extension cable. If it comes with a Mac Pro, it probably should need the extension...

Oh, I bought it separately. I figured that they would include one with the Macs though...

Does anyone have a picture of a 24" iMac '08 next to a 24" monitor? Preferably a Dell 24" widescreen monitor. I want to see how tall the 24" iMac will be in relation to the monitor. I guess I could always just look up the specs on the iMac, but I'm a visual learner

Thanks!

Nah, can't see it in the dark, but it certainly is lively!

not a very god pic, my Elph doesn't do well in low light situations. i love my iMac! i received it a couple days ago. the screen on mine is very even and, frankly, after some calibration (the default profile is awful, with a stupid gamma level, particularly, and an overly cold temperature, in my opinion) i prefer it to both my Viewsonic (which was a very nice monitor when i bought it, and which has also been calibrated to be as close as i could get it to the iMac's screen) and the 20 inch ACDs that we have where i work. it's nice using my MBP as a laptop now, instead of a desktop replacement. i had been using laptops as my main machine for years (a series of PowerBooks and then a couple MBPs), and it's so nice to have a real desktop machine again.

What case is that on the iPod touch? Love the setup too!

EdipisReks · Mar 8, 2008, 09:35 AM

it's a Speck SeeThru. i went through a few cases before i found this one, and i love it, because it doesn't add bulk, as its extremely thin plastic. thanks, i'm pretty happy with my system!

Right now I'm trying to make the choice of a MBP or an iMAc for my next computer, what do you like more about using a desktop?

(Very nice computer by the way. The screen looks phenomenal in that picture. Very crisp and bright.)
