2 weeks of owning an iMac

[cu3ed]

2 Weeks, 1 week tranferring pics, vids and documents from my old Pc and properly putting them in the right places, then about 3 days of loading Vista, Fusion, all the Adobe stuff and several smaller bits and pieces...so using it for about 4 days as I would need it.......

......im NEVER touching a PC again......just how the f do they manage to get right so many smaller things that MS cant even seem to comprehend, I was expecting a difference, I was expecting folders not to hang, crash, have better use of resources to work on my larger projects, but absolutly everything (once you get used to the change) is just better, no messing about, just intuitive.

A coulpe of things tho, the iMac aluminium case Im convinced is used to shift heat lol.

More usbs would have been nice.

A phono headphones socket would have made the Slim Aluminium (which is nicely weighty) absolutly perfect for practicality.
The return is getting alittle hard to get used too as its abit small.

the 24" screen is immence, dont find the gloss to be a problem.

Mighty mouse can be abit speratic and fire the arrow to the deepest corner now and again.

May get pics up loater.

Oh, one last thing, Spacebar....preview....anything.......PSD files, movies, music....epic lol.

Yeah I never used to use spacebar/preview much but I do constantly now

I think there is a fundamental difference in what companies think make for a good user experience. Most companies just assume that whatever features they have in their product must make for a good user experience, they try to fit the user experience to their feature set.

I think Apple gets it right by actually considering the end user in terms of what they might want to do and how they would want to do it, it always seems to me that someone at Apple has sat down and actually given some thought to how their prospective users might want to use their products.

Just my two penneth worth, I used to have a G5 iMac and it is the second best computer I have ever owned, behind my Spectrum of course

It's interesting you mention USB issues... I thought the same - but most of my peripherals are bluetooth anyway - so its not really a necessity... there's really only my digital camera that isn't wireless!

Imagine if the keyboard did not offer x2 USB ports!

I think they could have put on a few more USB's, also would have liked a DVI/HDMI out to make life easier.

Other than that like yourself I have had my 24" iMac a few weeks now and love the thing!
