You may remember my recent entry about the Huz's adventures with Apple.  Today, they've finally come to an acceptable conclusion.  After a great deal of rigmarole (and incidentally making his name familiar to the staff of the local Apple store!) we have in hand an (apparently) fully functional spiffy new iMac, with fancy graphics card and all.

It's fast!  It's nice!  It loaded the Coraline site flawlessy and rapidly!  And because it has a camera embedded in it, I buttoned my eyes:
We look forward to much spiffiness.  :)

Mar. 5th, 2009 @ 03:03 pm Coraline soundtrack and Amazon's digital downloader
Tags: , ,
I satisfied a minor itch Sunday night by purchasing the soundtrack to Coraline.  I did the minimal homework and found that, yay, the full album was cheaper as a download on Amazon than it was on iTunes by a buck (and came with no DRM on Amazon; I couldn't tell just by looking whether it was DRM-free on iTunes as well).  (Edit: as of actual posting time, the Amazon price had come down to $5.00!)  Hey, a buck is a buck and might buy me a soda later this week.  So I downloaded Amazon's digital download manager, paid for the album, and started downloading.

Amazon's downloader could stand some work. )

I like the soundtrack though! )

No, I don't need a new computer.  My now-somewhat-old iMac is still working fine, and it can still access OS 9 (useful if I ever intend to finish Xenogears -- really, I will, sometime!).  I don't even need a new toy - the DS fills that slot quite happily, and will for some time.

But oh, isn't the Macbook Air pretty???

So - does this outdo the iPhone?  My guess is no, but it's still pretty nice-looking.  Comments welcome.
