I could fall in love with this new iMac. I spent about an hour tonight playing with this at the Ala Moana Apple Store in Honolulu. I know someday soon I need to think about upgrading from my Power Mac G4 tower.
This particular Mac had a plethora of apps to fool around with including the new iWork and iLife software suites. What I ended up fooling around with for a long time was Adobe's Creative Suite Vol. 3 which consists of Photoshop, Illustrator and In-Design. Spent most of the time on InDesign creating a hypothetical document just using stuff that was on this Mac and text captured from the web. Nice.
Perhaps at the end of this year or sometime next year, I may spring for one of these. Will wait for the next version of OSX to come out before I think about buying one of these.

It was 40 Years Ago Today

"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by The Beatles was released to the world on this date, June 1, 1967 on Capitol Records. I've owned this album and variations of it on LP vinyl, cassette, Playtape cartridge, CD and now on MP3 (ripped from my CD). 40 years ago, I never imagined I'd be listening to this classic album on a CD, much less on a Macintosh computer or an iPod!
It's coincidental that Apple Computer and EMI Records started selling DRM-free music at the iTunes Store this week after making a big announcement about this in April. I was pleasantly surprised to see iTunes feature the back catalog of Paul McCartney to the iTunes store in conjunction with the EMI tracks. Could The Beatles classic recordings such as Sgt. Pepper be making it to digital soon?
