So I've had my shiny new Intel iMac<\/a> for a few weeks now, and it has now fully replaced the original Apple transition kit (made easier by the purchase of a MiniDVI to DVI cable so that I could plug in a second monitor). In fact it is so good, it has changed my feelings about desktops and laptops. <\/p>\n

The iMac is great, and very quick (and hopefully it will be a lot quicker once the 2GB RAM I purchased arrives tomorrow). I would easily recommend this iMac to anybody, but more on that in a moment. <\/p>\n

I have already been reconfiguring the server hardware, which, as I mentioned last year, started with some rationalization of the servers. I had a wide array of servers to support the work I did, from HP-UX and Sun boxes (including a relatively recently purchased Ultra60), a Mac OS X server (based on the old G4 box) and four different Intel based servers, from a dual CPU unit, through two identical AMD units right down to a VIA EPIA 10000.<\/p>\n\n\n
