I'm using it right now.
DW comes home from work and says she has a surprise. Hmmmm? I go to the trunk of the car and carry in a large box, Open it and it is a fully functional I mac computer. Her business handles accounts for Apple, as well as several other large corporate accounts. Her IT dept. had several items that were promotional or used for training and they were liquidating some of them. Today they asked her what time she got off work and offered up a surprise for her. They loaded it in the trunk and congratulated her for her hard work and low an behold we have an I mac. It's pretty bare bones as far as applications but "wow" what a surprise.
I have had macs/apples in the past and loved them but price point became an issue so I switched to PC's. This thing will take some getting used to now but I'm not complaining - the price was definitely right - Free  😀
Thanks honey, for all of your hard work.

I just looked down at my Mac's power cord.  There is a crack in the rubber casing.  I'll have to buy a new one.  First repair I'll have to pay for since I got mine 4 years ago.  Just wear and tear and it should be a minor repair. 

I Love my Mac.

I'm getting used to the mac format again. It's a little different but not too bad. I really like that I  don't have to worry too much about spam and viruses since most are written to attack PC's. The monitor, itself, is phenomenal, It's so vivid and clear. I don't need my cheater glasses to see what I'm typing. Ha ha. getting older can be a challenge.
It's definitely a cool piece of equipment.
