He’s just jealous.

Having already raised Dave’s suspicions by brutally murdering a Channel 9 guy, I’ve managed to confirm my place on his enemies list by buying the Mac. :) He’s just jealous, I mean wouldn’t you be? Look at this:

Dual Monitors, Dual Processors. It's all good!

That’s dual monitors running on a dual-2GHz G5 with 2.5Gb of memory and over a terabyte of storage. It’s okay, you may bow before it.

Oh okay Dave, I’ll concede one point: having a mouse with no scroll-wheel is ridiculous. I put the Mac one back in the box within an hour of plugging it in. I’ll be using a Microsoft Intellimouse with it. I’m sure the Mac purists will make me a pariah, but it’s all about the utility of the thing, damnit!

One really nice touch that I hadn’t realised when I ordered it - it has digital optical out and in for audio - so it’s hooked up to my stereo via optical cables… makes for the cleanest sound I’ve ever got out of a computer. It also means I can *really* hear the artifacts on badly encoded MP3s!

Update:
I spoke to Colin earlier, who pointed out that I’d neglected to include a photo of the machine itself! Here it is, ignore the Sony stereo I’ve unceremoniously dumped on top of it!

Dual 2GHz G5, 2.5Gb RAM

Update 2:
Dave removed his Macs are Rubbish! post. Does that mean Richard and I win? ;)

    Yeah, I dumped the mouse too… Always struck me as odd that in an OS that supports three button mice and scroll wheels, they don’t include one. However there are Mac style replacements about.
