Apple came out with its new iMac. I haven't read much on it yet but is sure is an interesting design. All screen no box.

Looks nice. I don't know about as usefull as an iPod though. When you can plug your iPod into any monitor and it's as powerfull as a computer, then that will rock my world. I do love the typical apple design though. This looks so cool:

I just talked to the owner of my company about some new computers he ordered (two G5 towers). I just figured that the two towers would go to the owner and the creative director... but he was asking me whether I wanted the fastest computer or if we would just set up a work station to use when we worked on video stuff.

Duh! of course I want the computer in my area. he he he

So it looks like I will be getting a new G5 2.5 ghz with 2 gb of RAM!!! Pretty exciting!

Why is Evelyn's so fast?

I ran it a few more times and got some faster upload speeds but the download stayed the same.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but we have cable internet - plus we live in a place were I don't think many people use the internet all that much so they don't take up the net space.

This is me from home.

My upload sucks, but my download rocks, well not as much as Evelyn's, but dude, she must be the only person on her block with cable, she's got the whole darn pipe to herself!

So I'm thinking I need to buy a new computer. It will be a Mac of course, and I'll need it to run Adobe Suit. That's it. Will a mini be ok, or should I look into an iMac?
