The iMac comes with 1GB of memory by default, but OS X is famously memory intensive and I'm also trying to run Parallels to run Linux and Windows virtual machines, so my memory demands are high. 1GB isn't cutting it at all, so yesterday, at about 3.50pm, I ordered 2GB of memory from Crucial, the only memory company I'd trust with my new-born. I chose Special Delivery so I'd definitely get it before 1pm on Monday, but.. it turns out Royal Mail tried to deliver it at 9.30am this morning!

Under 18 hour turnaround for getting something delivered is pretty amazing, as far as I'm concerned. Well, it would be if I were actually up to answer the door. I've now got to go visit the post office in town on Monday instead, but hey, that's my fault ;-)
