Phase two complete



Nothing exactly earth-shattering, but I've just completed the next step of my iMac upgrade plan. Not blessed with a mountain of cash this month, I decided to go for the least expensive (but most pretty) option and added a new Apple aluminium wired keyboard. To be honest, I don't know why I didn't do it sooner - not only does it look fabulous, but it's also a joy to type on, the media keys across the top are very handy and the best bit is that it was only £28.

The 1TB hard drive, OSX 10.5 and iLife 09 will have to wait a bit longer. Can't make up my mind whether to change the HDD first (and reinstall 10.4) or whether to do everything at once and change the hard drive and install the new OS at the same time (which would seem to make sense). If I do it all at once though, that's about £220 (£90 HDD and £130 Mac Box Set) I'll have to drop. Ouch.

Ah well. For the time being, at least I've got a lovely keyboard...

  3. They are nice those new keyboards, arent they? Just like a regular keyboard, but it feels like it's been run over by a bus :o)I'm distracted by the "girl hungry" flyer on your notice board ... what's that about then?

  4. Your setup is lookin' good, Phil. The aluminium keyboard are a joy to type on and unlike the white one before it isn't a crumb collecter ;)
