I love our dev machines at work. Mine is called “Alice” as in Alice in Wonderland. Five out of Seven devs have a 20″ Intel Duo iMacs; these things kicks ass. I’m usually a little weary of all in one solutions for the desk other than a laptop. I like my seperate box and 21″ crt monitor especially for graphics work. However the iMac experience has been truly exhilarating.

The set came with a keyboard and mouse but not just any ordinary mouse - it was the Mighty Mouse. I was skeptical at first. It’s light. It felt weird. I was use to the clear one-click mouse from my previous purchased system (Mac mini). It took a little bit of getting use to; so many freaking features. Changing the default mouse behavior was key for me. I like using the keyboard for shortcut functions so the only functionalities I need from Mr. Ms. Mighty is the scroll wheel and expose all on that cute little ball.

Cons? When I get home to my loyal mini, I find myself grotesquely fondling her mouse.
