They updated the iMac! Now has “Intel Core Duo”. A better graphics card and slightly faster RAM, but pretty much everything else is the same. This messes up my plans of buying an iMac. Yes, I want one, but (a) John Lewis won’t have the Intel models for a while yet, and (b) I should wait a while in case they turn out to have some fundamental flaw that takes a couple of months to show. Further, Logic Express won’t be upgraded to a Universal Binary version (i.e. native Intel rather than being translated in real time by Rosetta) until late March. Damn! I’ll have to wait a while. Again.

They also now (well, soon) have a replacement for the PowerBook, the MacBook Pro. Not keen on the name, but it’s a long-overdue boost and the spec is essentially the same as the new iMac, though still a 5400rpm hard disk, which is a bit poo.

Nothing else particularly gripping; iLife ’06, an update to iWork, blah blah blah…
