There’s no denyng that this is the daddy of Macs.  I could tell by the looks I got as I wheeled it home on my trolley from the My Mac store up the road.  Now this is a pretty amazing machine with its 2 x 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon dual core processors, 750GB hard drive and 5 gig of ram.   The guy at the store assures me that there’s nothing I can’t do with this machine.  It took a while at first to figure out that it did not have leopard installed when I got it home, but it came with a drop in disk.  The guys at the store had also mistakenly put in a much smaller hard drive than the one I had ordered… oops!Â
It now has the internet connected and I have installed Parallels so I can run my existing Windows based programs on it until I learn the new Mac programs.  The next step will be to start bringing files across from my PC.  Oh… and it puts out quite a lot of heat from the back of the box….   that will come in handy for winter.
