I got myself a perfect gift for the SysAdmin Day—my first Mac. A shiny new aluminum glossy screen iMac with a very comfy little Bluetooth keyboard and a Magic Mouse. The config is pretty much basic and not so up-to-date, but the price was right and the Core i3 with 4Gb of DDR3 1333MHz RAM and ATi Radeon 5670 will fit all my day-to-day needs.
So I’m learning to use cmd+C & cmd+V instead of their Windows/Linux counterparts now, getting used to the absence of the Delete button, and searching Google for the tips and tricks new to me. The only disappointment I have encountered yet was that my Abobe Photoshop Elements license doesn’t work with the Mac version. However, it turned out that the bundled iPhoto suite is good enough to give me some time to decide whether should I spend $79.99 on a Mac version of Adobe PSE9 or should I look for a cheaper option.
However, this is Adobe’s fault. On the Apple’s part everything is awesome. Awesome like having SSH client and Python translator right out of the box, awesome like the lightning fast GUI, awesome like uncluttered desk, and a lot of other awesomenesses yet to be explored.
