Awesome iMac and not much else

Yesterday saw the arrival of the gorgeous and gorgeously huge new iMac. I love Apple products, so many things are so easy to do. I've had a little MacBook for about nine months and I love that to pieces anyway. Yesterday I spent time using Migration Assistant to transfer everything over. Took about an hour.

While the two macs talked to each other, t'yoong man and I went to buy some new jackets and shirts for school. He's made it into size 10, which for some reason grieves me. It's the double-figures size, I'm sure.

When we got home, the two macs had finished having their chat and then I discovered that none of my iTunes had transferred over. Okay, so what did I do wrong. A quick reboot and I discover that my account names are different. Ahh, easy fix then; delete the new ID and leave the user from the MacBook intact. It's all good.

Migration Assistant transferred everything, including TweetDeck, which I'd forgotten about in all of the excitement of unpacking and fiddling around.

While I fiddled around with that, Alex made himself castles (yes, castles, plural - if he didn't like it one way, he'd change it over to something else) and even made himself a flag he coloured in and flew proudly over whichever box was his turret. Now that's dedication.

I spent most of yesterday saying the word awesome a ridiculous number of times. Nothing else seemed to fit. Today I'm over the word awesome and would like another one.

Chilli?
