Best Birthday Present Ever
I am totally in love with my new iMac, a birthday present from my awesome hubby. I’d initially pre-ordered from Amazon, enjoying the free shipping and gift certificate credits, BUT they only had the thing available from mid November. So on the evening of my big day, we went down to the nearest Apple Store and got one. Luckily they had it in stock. I was worried we had to wait again. I wasn’t aware they had a wireless (keyboard and mouse) option for $50 extra, which was a deal since I’d wanted to get wireless anyway. Got a $99 HP PhotoSmart printer which was part of the rebate offer. It didn’t have very good reviews on the Apple website, but after taking it out today and printing a couple of photos I’m pretty pleased with the quality.
Since Grandma was able to look after Rebecca, D and I sort of enjoyed a date night together. After the Apple Store we had a lovely dinner at a Japanese restuarant, my favorite food. We then enjoyed a nice walk around the area.
Now back to the iMac. This thing is super sexy and it screams to be seen. The screen is glossy, ultra clear, and just a joy to view. I’ve heard a lot of negative comments about glossy screens, but I gotta say I’m one of those who love it! My MBP has a matte screen, and I didn’t know how bland it looks until I stared into the face of the iMac. I’m going to opt for glossy screens next time.
