Got one already :P

In order to convince me a 30" iMac is worth it, I propose you give me one so I can evaluate it.

Quick "NOOB" question about Boot Camp.

When I launch the utility in Leopard it tells me I need to back up my mac partition. Any reason why or just a safety notice? Also, once this partition has been done, is it easy to format this partition back to the Mac OS?

It's a safety thing and it's very easy to turn the Windows partition back into a Mac OS one

YAY!

Come in to work today to find a big, MacBook Pro shaped package on my desk. I wasn't expecting it until next week =)

I actually had to resist the urge to shout NINTENDO 64!!!1!11! and rip the thing open there and then :D

Cock.

I appear to have a dead/stuck/bastard pixel. It's black on a black background and purple on a white background. I'm running one of those "pixel fixer" videos on it at the moment but if it's not fixed by Monday then I guess it'll be going back to Apple. In the meantime of course I can't really enjoy my new toy :(

Two major findings for me this week:

1.) Safari kept logging me about of forums. This drove me nuts since upgrading to 10.5. I re-installed about three times and still no joy. Deleting cookies did nothing. The solution was to nuke the plist file under ~/Library/Cookies. It now works like a dream.

2.) Leopard's "Get Info" window is retarded for audio files. Gone is the slider and it's replaced by a simple play button. I like the way album art is included, but I need to skip through tracks and stuff and the old slider was a great way to do this. The solution is to Quick Look the file instead, and low-and-behold, a new slider implementation. I can now ffwd through tunes.
