Got an IMac

Well, all of you at this forum talked me into it. After the meltdown of my PC over a week ago, I was under pressure to get a new computer. I decided to get the 20" Imac. I am very impressed so far.

Good-

• 
  An amazing screen
  Very fast
  Can run Windows or Mac software
  Sooooooo quiet
  Stylish as well as very good build quality
  I am enjoying playing with the new software
  Many more good things to com I'm sure

Not so good-

• 
  Why is the mouse and keyboard cords so short?
  DVD/CD seems a little slower than what I am used to (to be fair, it is also much quieter)
  The bluetooth isn't compatible with my Westell 327 from Verizon

Thanks for letting me lurk around before making the decision to switch. Overall this is an amazing piece of hardwareand well worth the money.

The cords are short, because unlike a tower that can be on the floor, the iMac and keyboard are all "right there"

Abut bluetooth - half the problem is with verizon.

Plug the keyboard into the iMac. Plug the mouse into the keyboard.

If the cords are still too short, you might want to look into wireless.

You said it. I had a heck of a time getting my Verizon RAZR v3m to sync because there weren't any Apple-provided drivers. Fortunately, some kind soul on the Internet wrote one and it works just fine now. Google your phone make and model, followed by the terms "Mac" and "Verizon". I don't know how popular your phone is, but you might be able to dig up a driver that way.

Congrats and welcome to the forums. You'll find this to be an invaluable place for information and friendly advice. True, you'll have some adjustments to make but I would guess you'll be on here telling us how "amazed" you are. Have fun!
