I mentioned the other day in the comments of my Ubuntu post that my girlfriend decided to get herself a iMac, this weekend we went to pick it up from the Apple store in Regents Street.
After the traumatising walk through soho carrying a computer in my arms when we got it home all seemed fine to begin with, but then when it came time to test out the iSight the thing was dead. It produced either pure white or pure green but nothing else.
I was really dreading taking it back as it would mean she would be without a computer for a while and just general be a total pain, I searched the Apple support forums and they got me nowhere but then I searched the forums and came across someone who had the same problem, they unplugged their iMac from the wall for 30 seconds and that fixed it, I did the same and voila, one happy mac.
So not too bad, but still a bit infuriating.
While we were there I also picked up a iPod Nano for Emma, I’ve not really looked at these in detail before and must say it’s a very sexy bit of kit. Though comparing it to my 3 year old iPod I have doubts about the build quality, for example the plug where the power/doc goes in doesn’t nicely click into place it’s more a matter of forcing it in, not sure if that is normal but it sure is annoying.
