When I got into work today there was a large cardboard box on the sofa in my office. Inside it was a new Mac.
It's just gorgeous. It's got a lovely big clear screen, a compact keyboard that is really nice to type with and a wireless mouse. The mouse is a white glass lozenge, and the whole top of it is touch sensitive, it is SO cool. AND the selection of pre-loaded wallpapers included Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks", which I love (Mum and I went to the Hopper exhibition at the Tate Modern a few years ago. It was beautiful, and I bought one of those 3D cardboard viewers of Nighthawks in the gift shop). How cool is that? PCs always have pretty pictures of flowers or fields but Macs go straight to a classic of film noir influenced modern art.
I'm still making friends with my Mac and I'm sure there I've only scratched the surface, but already I feel very comfortable with it.
