My Mac
I love my Mac. I wish I had a newer one though. My current Mac is an eMac that is about 2 years old. It only has a 40GB hard drive with less than 1/2 free space. I even have all my music and photos stored on an external drive because there isn’t enough space. So the only thing on the internal drive is the OS and applications. I would love to get a new iMac for several reasons…
1. It would take up less space on my desk. My eMac is huge. The new iMac would be a much smaller footprint, allowing me to have more space for my printer and scanner.
2. More hard drive space. I could finally use my home directory which would make things easier since everything defaults to those folders. I could use my external HD strictly for backup, which would be great. It would also probably help when running Photoshop. I think the Virtual Memory is an issue, even though I have 1GB of RAM. Photoshop slows down the whole machine when I run it.
3. Widescreen would be a nice feature to have when working in Photoshop. Much more room, especially when working with my 2-page scrapbook layouts.
OK, enough ranting on why I want a newer Mac. I will probably end up using my current eMac till it dies.
