Apple of my eye

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

I helped a guy in our lab spec a new iMac at the beginning of August, and he put the order in a few days after I went on holiday.

It’s only just arrived.

I’ve ordered a top of the range G5 and 23-inch flat screen so that I can solve the solution structure of the protein I wrote about last week. Order went in on Monday. Any bets as to when it’ll turn up? And I’m out of here at the end of the year. ARGH.

Apple - great products, lousy company. I guess it’s part of the mystique: You’ve got to really, really want one before they’ll ship. They’re probably running background checks on me as I type - “Is this person good enough for a Mac?”.
