iBook
I picked up my new iBook… still in the shipping box… monday afternoon. However, being Valentine’s Day, it didn’t get opened until Tuesday morning.
Booting and running through the setup was painless and fast.. it took a few minutes to migrate my stuff from the iMac.. but wow.. i was able to pick up right where I left off the day before. Sweet!
Once I had asured myself that all was well, we opened it up to add the 1G ram stick that I had gotten with it. It flys along nicely now… with a 1.33 GHz G4 and 1.25Gb of ram. Whew! Throw in the 60Gb drive, and the superdrive and it’s both the most powerful computer I’ve used as well as the lightest.
I’ll be picking up an Apple keyboard next week for use at my desk and the search will continue for a mouse/trackball that looks good next to the iBook. I love the look of the Apple mouse, but I want 3 buttons and a wheel… and I’m a big fan of Logitech’s Thumbball.
If anyone has suggestions in that regard, let me know.
