For at least the last two weeks, I have been calling all of the Apple stores in my immediate area, looking for a new 20" iMac G5. Well, my ship has finally come in, as the Apple Store in Palo Alto finally had some in stock today:

Because I was out so late last night, I wasn't ready to go to work until 11:00 AM today. But, since Apple had the iMac in stock, instead of driving to work I first drove to Palo Alto to buy my new toy. On the way back, I decided that I should go to work, but I brought the iMac upstairs, in order to torment my co-workers (and also myself).

But thankfully, Shreyas made me crack, and I decided to open up the box, and play instead of doing actual, factual work. I have posted the out-of-box pictures in a gallery.

Unfortunately, both Mark and Rushabh are in town this weekend, so I don't expect to really put the new machine through its paces any time soon. In fact, Monday is starting to look like it's going to be a pretty fun day, actually...
