So bored with it now.

My iMac has been playing up for the last few weeks. My internet connectivity is virtually zero (starting normally and dwindling to nothing every time I restart) and I know it's my Mac rather than the connection because Steve's is running perfectly.

I am a huge devotee of all Apple products and reluctant to diss them. But... their support lines just keep fobbing me off. I have done all their (temporary) fixes and re-installed the system discs even though I suspected that would not affect the internet speed. I then had to reinstall all the software (updates) at super-slow speed just to get Aperture to work and I'm still blocked from all the iWork stuff.

I'm going for a walk now so hopefully my mood will improve.

Sorry, just venting!
