All is well that ends in pizza.

You should be able to select "Data disk" or "ISO" or "ISO-XA" in Nero. What version do you have, and is it the Nero Express or another sort?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

My iMac arrived! I went home and played with it at lunch - it's so shiny!

Yes, I am a big kid.

Yes, Firefox installed, Azureus installed, options fiddled, all is going well.

Except I keep trying to press the right mouse button. It's driving me insane.

I love Macs, but their peripherals suck elephant balls. I think I put up with my Mac keyboard for about three seconds before heading to Staples and getting a MS mouse/keyboard combo.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Yeah, two-button USB mice work fine with Macs, but it's something to get used to after managing with one button for so long.

The Mighty Mouse isn't bad, but I wish the two-button functionality worked a little better. (The one-button-that-you-can-click-on-both-sides design is very pretty, but not as responsive as two REAL buttons would be.)

Yeah, I keep highlighting wrong things or scrolling off pages accidentally. I've not decided if it's me or the mouse which is useless yet.

I'm surprised how much software works on a Mac nowadays. I've got everything I've needed so far working without problems.

Long gone are the days when five geeks were producing all the mac software. the osx environment has been crucial in software development over the last six years or so.

Yeah. OSX is... striking. I'm a bit of an OS nerd, but mostly in the Windows (work) and open source sector. Having used Vista first, and now using OSX, I can tell you exactly where MS got it's Vista ideas from.

Yep! Even more telling is that OSX has been out and popular for years, with the fairly intuitive and revolutionary os design. I'm using it right now, in fact, and there's still times I look admiringly at how it operates, so stylish and pretty.
