Hankering for hardware

Lovely and chilly today - just a little too wet for my taste. It seems like we get about four days a year with perfect weather that I can't find anything to complain about, but today isn't too bad. At least the air conditioner can stay off now.

I've been thinking for the past few months that it's time to get me a new Mac, but I'm unwilling to sink a lot of money into a machine now when I could just wait a year or so and have something faster after the Intel switch. On the other hand, I don't really want to put up with my ancient G4 for another year. Chris and I have upgraded almost all of its bits - new graphics card, tons more RAM, external hard drive, DVD drive, new monitor, etc. But we're sort of stuck, processor-wise, and that's what's killing me.

Maybe I'll snatch up an iMac to tide me over until the new towers and laptops come out. They're fairly cheap and would at least be an improvement over what I've got now. We'll see.
