Just one more thing pointing to new iMacs this Tuesday. Yeah, I know. I am giving it a big build up and it could be very disappointing. But, if you are excited about the Mac, then I say let her rip.

Odds & Ends
Needless to say my Mac tech partner from work and I are very disappointed. We both are in the market for a new iMac, but Apple, for whatever reason, has decided to delay the release. Actually, as far as they are concerned it isn’t a delay.
Newbies
In my Mac experience there is something that never ceases to amaze me: a Mac newbie. Apple calls them Mac switchers and of course they are switching from the Windows world. Why are switchers amazing? Read more
