I've been using the Mac for about an hour now and this mouse
slowiness/sluggishiness is starting to get annoying. This lack of
responsiveness reflects on the whole OS. Moving from OS X to another
machine running XP, makes XP seem like it's as fast as BeOS !!! (okay
okay ... temporary insanity ... no GUI is as responsive as BeOS)
Something is wrong here and with a little searching on the net, I've
found out why.

I must say I'm in awe of this machine. I stood there looking at the box
for a few minutes before I opened it. Unfortunately, my digital camera
isn't working at the moment, I would have loved to have taken photos
every step along the way.



It took me a couple of minutes to get the machine all plugged in and hooked up. Now for the moment of truth ...

I'm now a Mac owner. I've just got approval from my boss so I can leave
work at 4pm today. I didn't tell him why, but between you and me, it's
so I can rush home and setup my shiny new iMac.



I must say it's heavier than I had originally anticipated, good thing
the car park is only a few hundred metres away :P

I was out at one of our director's houses this morning, fixing his home
machines as they were full of spyware and viruses and his laptop
wouldn't connect to his Netgear wireless access point. I spent about 3
hours cleaning things up and still had no success with the Netgear when
Nextbyte rang to say my iMac has arrived ! I said I'll be there at lunch time.

Out of the blue my mobile starts to ring with the caller id, saying it's Nextbyte ... this must be THE call, I thought with anticipation.



I was waiting with baited breath on every word that dripped from her
mouth ... all up to the point where she said "your new iMac hasn't
arrived".
