Apple Magic Mouse: First Thoughts

iMac Unboxing – Refurbished 20" 2.4 GHz
Live, with 16 viewers, I began the unboxing of my iMac! It’s a refurbished iMac — 2.4 GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram. Basically, the 2008 model. I got it, from the Apple store, for £650 which, for an iMac, isn’t bad! Throughout the day, more people joined the chat to watch the Live [...]
