Apple Faces Delay on iMac Shipments - WSJ.com

Apple's online store currently says orders for the 27-inch iMac will be shipped in two weeks, which means the machines would not likely arrive until after the Christmas holiday. News of the delay was reported earlier by Apple news sites including Apple Insider.

The delays come as new retail sales data show that Apple desktop computers are surging in popularity.

I'm now a Mac... a 27" iMac to be specific, and loving it. I've had no troubles and the HUGE screen is wonderful to work with. I'll blog my move from Windows to the Mac over the holidays when I have more time... Cheers!

Daughter's computer caught the "Antivirus 2010" virus... I know what I'll be doing this weekend!

It's amazing to me that the Norton Internet Security 2009 software I have installed on my daughter's computer can not detect the "Internet Security 2010 virus" that looks so much like norton antivirus software. Even though this virus is so obnoxious... Popping up fake windows, flashing the background... it's also removed things like the taskmgr, so I can't get rid of it.   I have no choice but the nuclear option of formatting the disk and reinstalling the operating system.  So much for Norton...
