I couldn’t wait and I realized that I was getting tired of the lag because of all my Adobe apps on….it would take several seconds after each key stroke for a letter to appear.
So, I went to Apple and figured that because Leopard will only be $9.99 since I purchased my Mac within the October-December 2007 window, that there would be no problem purchasing the Mac early.
I was looking to get a Mac Book Pro… but truthfully, doing graphic work on a laptop is not for me…even though I could connect it to a larger monitor, I realized I have three laptops…. do I need a fourth?
So, then it was the Mac Pro…but the low end was $2,499… I always bought a tower but mainly so I can change the video card and add more hard drives. But since purchasing externals are so cheap, I thought about the video card and truthfully, if I want to do any gaming, that’s why I have the PC.
So, then I was left with the decision of an iMac…buy the startup iMac 20″ with 2.0 ghz or the other with 2.4 ghz…save money and so I can get my upgrade for Adobe CS3 Design Premium which cost $600 for the upgrade.
But lo and behold…I saw the 24″ iMac…I fell in love with it…. No more having to worry about designing on moving windows.
So, I left Apple with a new 24″ iMac, 2 GB of Ram and the new CS3 Adobe stuff screams.
It’s interesting to see how my 19 inch monitor compares in size to the 24″….but won’t dump my G4 733mhz anytime soon. It appears that certain plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop will not work on the new OS (which I expected), so will have to use both computers for now for production.
Next is Friday to pick up Leopard!
