Cool i5 stuff!

Yes, it's there. After a few weeks waiting I could finally go to the shop to pick it up: my brand new imac 27" quad core i5.

Everything is shiny and things are working as expected: fast as lightning with a brilliant 27" LED display (2560x1440). With specs like these, viewing and handling my 10mp images in lightroom is going smoothly :-) I've got Time Machine running for the first time now and all I hear is the noise of my external hard drive; the imac is doing everything quietly...

After a couple of days intense processor and disk use, including the use of the sleep, I haven't encountered any of the on the internet reported issues. Lucky me!

Another exceptional thing is the bluetooth controlled mouse: don't know how they do it, but the more you use it, the more you like it. A 2-button, scroll mouse without buttons and a scroll wheel :-) The bluetooth keyboard seems less appropriate to me when working at a desk (it lacks the numerical part), so I was lucky I ordered a full blown wired one instead.

And now it's playtime again. Ciao!
