Well it has now been over 6 months since I bought my iMac from the Apple Store in Regent Street, London, and made that seemingly endless journey on the underground back to the end of the Northern Line where my car was parked, before driving home with my girlfriend to do the grand unboxing. Not long after I got it I posted my first video on YouTube, an unboxing of a drive caddy. Since then I’ve made 34 more videos for YouTube (not including the 2 part video review that goes with this article), some about my iMac, the switching experience and some on tech news.
