New Mac is heading my way

[Gary]

After waiting a month, to make sure things were less hectic with the Apple screens and realising only people who complain post, I took the offer of an upgrade, they offered me a i5 quad core, 27" with 8GB ram and 1TB drive with a ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics card with 512MB DDR3 as a "we are sorry" but for an extra £163 I get to have the 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 which when using one or two cores uses turbo boost to hit 3.46ghz and also has hyperthreading, I could not resist it  Justina will just shake her head. I'll post some pics when it arrives, Apple also let me keep my 21.5" till the new one comes so I can just swap my information over the same day from one machine to the other, without asking for me to pay extra, very trusting and helpful.

I'm drooling...

[Simon]

I think that was a good move, Gary. 

[Glenn]

They know where you live.

[Gary]

They know where you live.

But do I Glenn 

[Gary]

I think that was a good move, Gary. 

It makes sense Simon, its a small amount of cash for an almost 30% increase in performance with some apps, and as I seriously do not want to buy another machine for years, its the safest way to try as much as you can to future proof your machines CPU for as long as you can.

[Simon]

Hope you enjoy it, Gary. 

[Gary]

Hope you enjoy it, Gary. 

Think I may need sunglasses to sit in front of it, Simon 

[Rik]

No problem, Garry, just send it to me.

You'll save on the central heating. 

[Gary]

No problem, Garry, just send it to me. 

I think I could sail it to you 

[Rik]

You want a good southerly breeze. Unless you were letting me have it on tack, that is.

True and have a nice tan all year round, and need Mr Magoo glasses because I bet the text is very small on that machine, 2560 x 1440 is going to make even a large font text look tiny.

He'll need to pull a few sheets off of you

I like the cut of your jib, but then I'm biased.

I never knew you steered that way, Rik 

[Rik]

Normally I use a sextant, but the sun was too bright today, so I went to GPS instead.

I would use a sextant but the neighbours would talk 

[Glenn]

You can't trust the stars, Hollywood is always killing them off

[Rik]

Not if you wore a kilt they wouldn't.

[Rik]

You can't trust the stars, Hollywood is always killing them off

Or making them into a black hole...

[Gary]

Or making them into a black hole...

I can think of a few Hollywood stars who could do with going into one

[Rik]

We used to be satisfied with stars, now we have to have super stars and mega stars, one wonders what will happen when they run out of adjectives.

Probably the right time to swap as things seem to have settled down,however the Apple UK store been very slow tonight I wonder if something new is on the way.
