A little bit of Steve Jobs in the Sabb office

I'm almost scared to say this out loud in case I jinx things, but the order was put through to Apple today for four iMacs - woohoo!

We're getting 24" iMacs, instead - hell yeah!

Ok, so I'm a shameless geek. Get over it - I have. I have to admit, I'm pretty excited about this investment - I really think it's got the potential to have the biggest benefit for UPSU Media next year (and some years to come).

Here's to the next 12 months!
