Announcing Another New Arrival

After wishing various friends' progeny well over the past few weeks, I'm pleased to announce the delivery of the newest addition to the Hanneman household.

My new iMac G5 (and pet Epson CX4600 printer/scanner) arrived Wednesday morning via FedEx. Mac was 17 inches upon delivery, has a 1.8GHz processor and weighed in at 29 lbs.

I adopted him via Apple's refurbished program, which means that I rescued him from abandonment by his original parents. They had paid for some upgrades which Apple passed on to me free of charge: internal Bluetooth capabilities and 512MB of RAM instead of the normal 256MB. Despite the lesser cost of adoption ($200 less than delivery of a newborn iMac), Mac comes with Apple's full warranty and seems quite happy to have found a new home. He spent his first day downloading roughly 200MB of updates. His new dad spent the day at work eagerly anticipating going home to play with him.

You are enjoying the first fruits of myMac's (his full name) keyboard.
