The Night of the Tiger

Had a grand old time last night, and left the Apple Store in Washington Square in Beaverton, Oregon with my very own little Power Mac G5 Dual 2.7 appropriately named Vuclan. Because, he will, you know, let me... create stuff? It isn't like hes just going to sit there and run World of Warcraft all day... no way mister! Of course not!

All photos can be found here.
Well, lets start it off... Amazingly fast. Smooth as butter. Dual layer DVD is very slick. I cannot say enough good things about it. Adobe CS pops in seconds rather than half-minutes (on my PowerBook), Virtual PC looks actually usable if somewhat broken by Tiger, and everything is up and running.

Potential for Bluetooth upgrade kit soon (similar to Mac mini). Bluetooth was a deal breaker, either include it or I'm going to the Apple Store online, but I will meddle along with my wired keyboard for the next couple of weeks until the Bluetooth 2.0+EDR kits get in stock. Then we'll have a nice little visit with the Mac Genius for its installation. Maybe an ATI X800 too.

I cannot say enough good things about it. It blows my game rig away (Athlon 64 3500 with 1GB RAM, 640GB combined storage and XFX GeForce 6800GT).

Congratumalations Apple on a job well done!
