I’m not so sure I like the new iMac. It looks like something Gateway would create. I can’t tell if the screen can move up and down, although I know it tilts. It is lighter, and presumably faster.

This has been happening for four months with Apple’s high end software. I learned that if I totally uninstalled/reinstalled DVD Studio Pro and then Final Cut Pro, leaving out the FCP install… Continue reading AH Technology damnit Apple! lol
