Manhattan. Not loving it as much as I had hoped. EDIT: Not exactly hating it either...

I like California. Good luck, Ken.

Al, I'm not sure how it differs in taste, but I believe the Rendezvous is a blend of 16 y.o. and 6 y.o., and the Rocky Mountain is all 16 y.o. or 21 y.o. as the case may be. FWIW, most of the raves I have seen are for the Rendezvous, which also happens to be less expensive.

Put them two together....

This is like having a new computer. Y'know, without the cool new computer. But still.

Weller, Al, drink some Weller.

Whoa. Fast SSD drives are fast.

Parkers Heritage 10 yo.

I swapped out the hd in my old iMac tonight for the ssd I bought from Gene. To those of you with 1G intel iMacs who are considering opening that fucker up, my advice is to reconsider. It is a major, major pain in the ass. The G5 and subsequent intel generations are all supposed to be easier. Some sadist was behind this one. I may have a different opinion once this thing is up and running, which will seem like a small miracle. But looks like the install is going fine so far. Thanks for the helpful answers above, gang.

lol...Dusty, pics pics pics!

Of course Tom Bihn ran out of my first color choice. So I chose the Tri-Star in black/steel. (Which may be better for me in the end.)

Can you get a variance?

Happy Birthday!

Good to know. I kind of like that method because I like the idea of a "fresh" install of the OS.

Dan, any particular reason for that?

Thanks reks. Then clone or migrate?

I'm probably going to try to swap out my HD on this old iMac and replace with a new SSD. I have everything backed up using Time Machine. Is this all I need to restore libraries and things like that when I set up the new HD? Or do I need to do something more extensive? Basically, I could use some advice about how to prep so that the transition is easy.

Shelly, are you using iTunes with the Logitech?
