We’ll I’ve finally done it. I purchased my first Apple Mac, the iMac. Firstly, I would like to state the following

1. I would never buy a PC from PC World.
2. I would never buy a Mac.

So on Saturday I walk into PC World to compare the PC’s to the Dell offers. I then walk out with a iMac after hearing impressive reports from my friends.

After arriving at home, I realised that I needed a desk from the iMac. To my amazement I found it very hard to find a desk that wouldn’t put the iMac out of place. I searched many sites and finally opted for John Lewis Soho desk.

I then tried to connect the iMac to the web. I have a wireless network and use the Netgear DG834G. I tried multiple times on connecting using my WEP password. However, after multiple tries I searched on google and then resorted on a friend, Simon Morris. He suggested using a “#” or a “$” before the hex password. Now it works !! Since his advice I searched on Apple and found this information on connecting.
