iMac: I got one!

I finally got a Mac! I've been wanting one to try for a while now. I got the 24" iMac with 2.4Gz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I've only been playing with it for a couple hours and I have to say I'm impressed! Everything works right out of the box! No spyware or junk ware like so many Windows PC's. The screen is beautiful. First thing I ran was the system update, Safari, iTunes, iChat, and played a few DVD's. So far, I have a really good first impression! The first thing I noticed is how fast the boot up times are. Also, the sleep and wake up functions are immediate. It's not like in Windows where it takes 10-20 seconds for the computer to go to sleep or wake up from a lower power state.

With Windows, so many things go wrong like searching for the correct drivers, strange error messages, viruses, spyware, and system performance gradually degrading over time. But I have to learn the keyboard shortcuts because they are quite different.
