what can i say beside that its fantastic? no cheap china-smell when packing it out, everything feels very high quality, i was using pc's before for many many years, in every price range but even with a 200 euro worth logitech keyboard/mouse combo it didn't feel as gr8 as the apple magic mouse and keyboard.

the screen itself is big obviously haha. and bright and makes the mac-feeling even better.

after maybe 3 hours of usage (yesterday and today combined) i never wanna go back to something else :)

(okay, i will still run my old pc with ubuntu just for fun) but all the serious work will be done on my iMac from now on.

what i need now are some good apps and maybe some good tips in general - so please, share.

will continue now to enjoy the mac experience. again: its just awesome! :woot:

i would when ya can upgrade the ram to 16gb or so i did that for my next door neighbor for her 2009 iMac and the performance boost was big for her as she is running lion and using Adobe suite 5.5

I'm running Lion and Adobe CS6 with 8GB ram and it runs perfect. was working with a 10ft x 2ft banner stand the other day and started to feel the burn but it was still more than workable.

Congrats on your purchase the iMacs really are beautiful machines.

Go into the Safari Preferences dialog and turn Extensions on. Now click Safari -> Safari Extensions and it'll be in there somewhere.

Congrats on the new iMac! Don't you just love how they are boxed up and presented to you? :)

I remember the first one I brought home, unboxed it at a friends house first for the first time, fired it up was in awe. Second time, I unboxed it was a family member's house to show it off and how simple it was to set up. Third and final time was at home where it lived. (Mid 2007). Sadly, I had a lemon of a Mac (Pardon the fruit reference), and had it replaced with a Mid-2010 by Apple under their Applecare after it went through way too many repairs hard drive and logic board wise.

The mac I have now (mid-2010), still runs and purrs like new like the first day I got it. I did upgrade the Ram to 8GB and have never looked back!

quick question guys: I just transferred all my songs to iTunes, my videos to video folders etc. and now i formated an external HD and using it as time-machine. so far so good, backup started and it says now 172GB to back up, duration: 2 days! my question: do i need to let my iMac running 2 days or can i pause the backup as well?

You can pause the backup, infact the mac will go to sleep if left idle for longer than a few minutes when it will pause itself. However most macs are designed to go to sleep rather do a full shutdown, and macs tend to work better with massive (several month) uptimes than being shutdown every day.

It also occurs to me that the estimate will improve very quickly, like downloading estimates do

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

    • The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.
    • While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
