A New Arrival...

Yay! Finally, it's here - MY NEW MAC!!

It arrived whilst I was at school. I was in the middle of teaching Yr 11 when a kid came down from reception with a note to say that it had arrived - oh boy, that was the longest 20 minutes til the pips (Pommy version of the bell) went - but luckily it was the lesson just before lunch and I could go up, get the Mac, and spend my lunch break setting it up (and to be honest, period 5 too as I had a free)...

I can't be bothered to take a photo of it, but I can post you a stock photo - here it is:
It's got:
  • 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  • 1440 x 900 resolution
  • 2GB memory
  • 160GB hard drive
  • 8x double-layer SuperDrive
  • NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with 128MB SDRAM
  • 15 inch screen
Now why am I publishing all that gobbledy-gook? Because in 10 year's time, when I look back at this, I'll laugh at how excited I was over a computer with those specs (ok, who am I kidding, it'll probably be outdated within a month). Crikey, I remember how excited we all were when we finally got a 486!
So although the waiting was absolutely awful, it's now over and I am certainly one happy camper - hey, I need some sort of excitement and happiness, the Poms are playing the Frogs tomorrow, and it should've been us...
