Was just delivered about 20 minutes ago. Did fresh install, no updates yet. But I'm so anxious I had to post first.

It's dark enough in my room that the keyboard is light up. OMG! This thing is incredible. And it's a bajillion times faster than my Beige G3. I'm in heaven right now.

Back to updates!!!

P.S. Is the only way to get the iLife stuff to Restore instead of Install? Otherwise, I'll have to grab a copy from work so I can install it seperately.

Yup, when you run the Restore, you pick which things to install.

All done updating. OMG this thing is fast.

I need to get some games on here, try out this 128MB Radeon.

This thing kills my PC. Hehe.

The "restore" process no longer includes the OS itself. The "restore" process is actually two steps: first, you install the OS, second, restore all the apps over it.
