Ok, Ok, I know I haven't posted recently, but let me correct that right now! I must announce that we gave our 2006 iMac with the core duo processors to my mother in law as a replacement for her Gateway laptop with Windows Vista. At least now I know I can help her when she runs into problems. (So far, None!!)
So, what do we have now as a replacement? A new 27 inch Core i5 iMac with magic trackpad. You know Stitch, whenever I make a move to the updated operating system (Lion) I always wonder how Apple could improve on the old OS. Well, I am happy to report that, in my humble opinion, Lion is truly awesome!! I LOVE the magic pad, I LOVE swiping to new desktops, I LOVE the huge gorgeous screen. It is a dream to work on.
My only problem? I tried installing 8 GB of new RAM modules in the empty slots and the iMac did not recognize them. I did this to save some money, and I'm hoping to have the modules tested to see if either of them are defective. I was able to properly seat the factory installed modules, and the iMac booted up fine after I did that, so I strongly suspect one of the modules may be defective. I will keep you updated.
I have already used our new iMac to make a gorgeous photo book of our vacation to Spain (presents for my parents and aunt), I am almost done with our Christmas Card, and I made background music for our family Christmas Concert.
I LOVE this computer!
