NEW<\/strong> <\/span>is good, right? Of course it is! And new technology is even better, right?<\/p>\n

Absolutely! So .. NEW iMACS ARE FANTASTIC, right? YOU BETCHA!!!!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"SPOILER ALERT #1<\/em><\/strong><\/span> – Yeah, a big fan of Apple! Ever since I was able to convince a skeptical Macintosh salesclerk to ‘Test Drive A Mac<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/span>‘, way back in 1984, I have been hooked! Okay, also a Commodore-64 Fan Boy too! But I do use WIN computers for about 99% of CHD stuff now too! I was able to demonstrate the all new Macintosh, to the entire teaching staff where I worked – and even to my night courses too! Good times … good times …..<\/p>\n

Apple Spring Loaded Event April 2021<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The entire  Apple “Spring Loaded<\/a><\/strong><\/span>” event is below, at  YouTube! And just the new  iMac announcement too! They are certainly a far cry from the first ever Macintosh sold by Apple! Click here<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to see a full roster of ALL the Apple Events going back to 2019<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

iMacs will now be powered by an 8-core M1 chip, which is a huge<\/strong> step forward for security. THAT ALONE<\/strong> should be a major factor when considering a new computer.<\/p>\n

Colours ARE pretty – but not new. Apple did a similar theme years ago with the a ‘Fruit Colors’ release of the G3 iMacs! And I just found out that there were 13 different colours! WOW! I actually still own the Graphite one – and it still works! All the colours are in a YouTube video<\/a><\/strong><\/span> below and an article here<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"Hello
                 Hello iMac Colours!<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For me, the M1, Big Sur, RAM, CPU, SSD, 4.5K (there is half a ‘K’ now?<\/em><\/strong><\/span>) etc. are all fine and dandy. I expect improvements and enhanced tech in those areas. But I was SO GLAD TO SEE … A RETURN TO THE 24″ SCREEN!<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

I have a 27″ and it is … too large. CALL has had 21.5″ screens for years … and they are fine. But I really like that ‘Sweet Spot’ of 24″ monitor size!!!!!! Just seems the right size for my eyes and desktop.<\/p>\n

And the new ‘Magic Keyboards<\/a><\/strong><\/span>‘ also look VERY promising! I am an old school fan of the wired extended keyboards and mice, but those are not an option, so I will eventually … get used to them!<\/p>\n

\"Magic<\/a>
                  Magic Mouse<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The ‘new’ size monitor, Magic Keyboard and Mouse are the real imporovements for me. What you see, what you type and what you point at. Yup, those are key to me! <\/p>\n

\"Magic<\/a>
           Magic Keyboard<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I will probably order my new iMac in July-ish, when their Educational promotions are on. So probably just a free headset that I will never use! It could be a cheap christmas present too!<\/p>\n

I will  just have to wait! I have small Table below (one of my new favourite ‘toys’ with OAC!) comparing the original Macintosh (128K) and the new iMacs announced!<\/p>\n

And further below, is a great site, EveryMac that you can look up ANY Apple product and find specifications! A great site!<\/p>\n
