Im gonna get killed...:)

[adiliegro]

My wife doesnt know it yet, but I just got me a new toy for the "business". She is ging to kill me when she finds out, but OMG...I just unboxed a G5 PowerMac Dual 2 ghz and this thing is AWESOME! I was...WAS...using the iMac for my photo editing (Im a photographer) and it was decent, but this powermac makes it look like a Tandy computer in comaprison. The PowerMac only has 512 megs of ram in it right now and the iMac has a gig and this thing is 10 times faster. Those dual processors really DO make a difference!

Transferring my files from the iMac to the PowerMac could not have been simpler. Plugged in the firewire and BAM, it was done before I knew it.

GOD, I LOVE MACS!

Sounds like your wife is going shopping after the heated discussion.

 

[adiliegro]

I think you may be right. LOL. sigh.

 

[Lasha]

Congradulations on the purchase! Heh. Did you directly connect the iMac and the PowerMac which a firewire?

 

[adiliegro]

yep...firewire direct connect.

 

[witeshark]

Congratz on the G5 dual. A photo powerhouse to be sure!

 

[CaptainMack]

[Icarus]

wanna buy me one? You don't have to tell your wife

 

[NightCrawler]

uhm.. yea about that... sign me up for a PowerBook

 

[Macman]

and I'll take one of them g5s you got for your wife.

 

[adiliegro]

She actually took it a LOT better than I thought. She saw it, looked at me really mad then said - "So, I get the iMac G5, right?"

Um, yeah.

 

[rman]

Looks like you are selling the old iMac and getting a new G5 iMac.

 

[Aptmunich]

Wow, to be honest, I wouldn't dare to do that... i mean I do buy stupid things all the time and tell the girlfriend eventually, but a Powermac? That's a BIG impulse buy to have to explain...

Oh well, as long as you can afford it!

 

[adiliegro]

Actually, it wasnt an impulse buy. I had been thinking about it for quite some time. Honestly, I needed the processor speed. I am a wedding photographer and need speed and power when I am processing my weddings (3000 images for one wedding...it takes speed and power). Renee undertands that it is a business expense, just like my cameras (which cost more than the Powermac for one).

I just sat the iMac G5 on her desk and didnt open my mouth about it. She LOVES that computer. LOL.

 

[zeppster]

sounds like your pretty much all set with money huh? How many macs do you have? maybe I should become a wedding photographer.

 

[Macman]

as a wedding photographer Im sure youre loving iphoto.
