New iMac purported graphic issues
A really silly thing I did about a year ago (probably after one beer too many) was upgrading my perfectly stable Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista. Vista is really getting on my nerves, so I was in Media Markt the other week looking to see if they had Windows 7 Ultimatum in stock. As I was walking past the Apple section, this iMac looked at me and whispered "buy me" into my ear. I thought "might as well have a look". First impressions were what a gorgeous looking thing. So I played with it a bit, fumbled around, found a shell, and typed Code:
$ echo $0 bash Hmm. Code:
$ ksh $ echo $0 ksh "I'll take one!" I mean it's perfect. Unix-based, VM Fusion for inferior, err, other, OS'. The guy said, "you'd be better waiting, 'cos they're bringing out a new one". So I goggled it and sure enough. But I've since read (on some Forums) that there are problems somehow with performance in the graphics department (ksh is a monster for that!!!). But no-one could give a definitive answer - was it a Flash thing, a graphic driver thing, a dodgy Snow Leopard installation thing, or even a graphic card thing (and they all seemed to have solutions to their various problems). Does anyone have one of the new iMacs? If so, is all this a lot of hoo-hah, or is it something to think about? |

I have an older 21" iMac and I love it, but wish I had an Intel version vs. the older rapidly obsolete PPC version.
I used to run a development version of these forums on it when I wanted to try something "out of the ordinary" and it was great, a beautiful desktop machine running as a fully functioning LAMP server. |
