She's here. Finally.

After several days of OMGWTFiMAC!!??!! I finally went out and got her.




Priscilla and my very very messy desk.
Priscilla





Although many of you recommended the 24" model, once I got to the store, I realized that the 20" was more than enough. It's a perfect size, actually - lots of viewable space, fits perfectly on the desktop and when I sit in the rocker/recliner to watch movies/vids via Front Row, it's gorgeous!! Because my place is so tiny, the big chair is right next to the desk. All I need to do is angle Priscilla toward the chair, use my handy-dandy remote and voila, excellent video quality. The built-in speakers are quite dandy, too - a big surprise there. Of course, if I were building a home multi-media system, I might upgrade to a bigger sound, but these are *plenty*.

I also splurged a little for the wireless keyboard and mighty mouse, so I can sit on the rocker and surf the Web, too. Although, the mighty mouse is more meh than mighty. I prefer to use my existing Logitech trackball. It's wired, though, so I'm going to be on the lookout for a Bluetooth version.

I do think that for major writing, I'll still use my new ergonomic/wired keyboard, b/c the native iMac keyboard is a bit too small for long-term writing.

I'm a happy happy geek!

A funny note on SGA's McKay and Mrs. Miller:

When I was in college, I met my first MENSA member - a friend of a neighbor. His name?

Meredith.

TOTALLY not like McKay, in fact, he was creepy. Lots of bad vibes from him. Not a cellar breathing mouth dweller, in fact, he was tall, rather patrician looking and well-groomed - just very very creepy.

My mother's very large black cat hated him, so the few times he was over, the cat made a beeline for his lap. He hated cats. ::g::

The episode was priceless! I adore Kate Hewlett.
