In today's Project 365 entry you can see some Italian easter eggs and a little lost glove. Behind the cut is another photo from my afternoon out, taken inside our local Starbucks, where I stopped to get a latte.
And here's the newest addition to our studio, an Apple G5. We got tired of our G4 being a little buggy and decided to replace it with a more powerful and more stable machine. The G5 is a used machine, but as you can see it came with a 17" LCD monitor, as well as wireless keyboard and mouse and an iSight camera, for $1000 Canadian.
First, the computer on the floor, with the Apple logo visible:
And then the computer in its temporary initial setup while George does tests on it, upgrades the operating system, and installs necessary software.
As you can see, it's bloody HUGE compared to the G4 on the table to the left of it and below. This is clearly a computer that means business. The last time I had this sort of feeling while standing next to a machine, I was standing next to a Lamborghini Countache. It starts up with a sound like a 747 powering up for takeoff, and every so often while it's operating the fans kick in with a muted roar as they cool the immensely powerful core.
Ironically, this G5 is exactly the configuration that we were looking at getting, refurbished from Apple, a year ago for $1900. We went for the 24" iMac instead.
I'm happy. George is happy. All is well.
